In my book “Anyone Can Consult!”, it has been brought to my attention that I use the masculine pronoun “He” in my writing.

25). Increased Consulting Fees Through Self-Confidence By : Stephen Pope
Sometimes consultants and other service providers are hesitant to charge a fair rate for their services. Maybe they feel that the services they provide are so basic that you really can't justify charging much or anything for them.
