Not Sure What This Is About

As I eagerly greet the new work morning, my first call of the day is from a woman who wants to open an online store. "Sure," I say, "what is it you want to sell?" "I really don't know," was her cautious reply, "do you have any suggestions?"

Luckily, I was on my toes that morning. "No problem Ma'am, you can call a relative or friend who has a store and ask if you could sell his stuff online." "Okay, sounds good," she replied, "I have someone."

I was already counting on that month's mortgage being paid until she informed me of a minor detail. "I don't know how to use a computer. Actually, I don't even have one. Is that a problem?" Truly a serious damper on a potential sale.

I suggested she make a visit to the local library, get some help and information on computer skills, and call me back when she's ready. There is a very important lesson which I know is in this story, I'm just not sure what it is.
