You're paying for advocacy, not completing and filing paperwork.
Here’s a perfect illustration.
A giant cargo ship’s engine failed. The owners tried one expert after another, but none could figure out how to fix it.
Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was young. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.
The ship’s owners were there shadowing and watching him hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something.
“Try it now”, he said. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away, shook the owners hands, and left.
A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for $10,000.
“What?!” the owners exclaimed. “He hardly did anything!”
So they sent the old man a note saying, “Please send us an itemized bill.”
The old man responded with a bill which read:
Tapping with a hammer………….. $2.00
Knowing where to tap…………….. $9,998.00
While effort is important, knowing where to put the effort, makes all the difference.
