Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Soliciting Professional Services (was: Extrapolation of unit sizes from surveys)

[Mac Thomson (mac]

I think it's perfectly OK for cohousing professionals to use this  
list for soliciting.  Without exception, all of the cohousing  
professionals I have met and worked with are in it because they  
believe in their hearts that it is work that will make the world a  
better place.  None of them are getting rich.

As far as I can remember, pretty much only Chris and Tree even take  
the time to share any information with this list.  If they didn't  
work as professionals, they wouldn't have the knowledge that they're  
able to share.  And if they didn't sell enough of their services,  
they wouldn't be able to keep working as cohousing professionals.

IMHO, this list is about matching people looking for information with  
people that have that information.  Whether that match-up involves  
payment for services or not doesn't matter to me -- the exchange of  
information is still happening that will help cohousing flourish.   
The opportunity to take advantage of the professional services is  
made available and it's up to the cohousing groups to decide whether  
to buy it or not.

my 2¢ worth,
Mac
