The rule of the 'FI's:

1. The FIRST time somebody asks you to do something you don't do refer them
to someone else that does it.
2. The FIFTH time somebody asks you to do something you don't do start
asking for referrals from wherever you are directing the business.
3. The FIFTEENTH time somebody asks you to do something you don't do
IMMEDIATELY start charging and outsource the work.
