Yes, yes, yes!

I agree! Explore all the ways to become magnet-like. It can only help. Being a magnet is definitely better than not being a magnet!

The question is, by *how much* can it help, really?

Where to place the quest for 'magnethood' on the priority list?

It's easy to fall prey to its promises. It promises MAGIC. Magic that will 'allow' one to NOT have to do distasteful things (like solicit).

Problem is, you can explore it all you want -- just be aware of how little the pay-off may be.

At best, it will allow you to solicit less-- SLIGHTLY LESS.

That's all. No less + no more than that.

It is NOT a 'cure' for having to solicit.

Imo, there is no cure for having to solicit.

Hell -- I'm with you -- I WISH there were a cure!

Soliciting IS distasteful -- for BOTH the solicitOR AND the solicitEE.

But it still is -- and always will be -- the 'spark' that causes the vast majority of transactions to happen.

There's no way around it. Not even the 'magnet' way.

Cheers!
