Ultimately, it is their decision as it is their life. For example, a psychic can give someone a reading, but they can't *force* people to listen to the advice, no matter how sure they are that the advice will benefit that person.
That's kind of where I'm getting stuck working with people 1-on-1. They're only ready to go so far in their conscious growth, and then they want to pause and stay at that level for a while (like most of us), until they are ready to keep going further.
Maybe I can look at it from a different perspective though. For example, I could increase the "depth" of my Blog posts. For example, research a topic in much more depth, find ways to channel even more energy into a single topic, engage multiple media types (video, audio, diagrams etc.), instead of writing a broad variety of Blog posts on many different topics where I'm mostly just skimming the surface - even though most of my posts are over 1,000 words.

Or you could simply focus on serving the people you can help the most. Let the rest go.
It's a waste of time (and frustrating) to help people who resist your help. But work with people who are eager to learn from you, and it can be extremely productive and extremely rewarding.
That's what I'm doing with the Conscious Growth Workshops. The people that showed up to the first one were very willing to learn and grow, and they were open and receptive to the assistance I could provide, so together we created a space where lots of breakthroughs occurred in a fairly short period of time. There was virtually no friction in that environment. The workshop was effective largely because of the people it attracted. From talking to many attendees, it seemed like most of them had been reading my blog for at least 3-4 years. They were a very dedicated group. I felt honored to be in a place to serve them.
Instead of trying to attract everyone as a client or visitor, think about how you can attract the ideal ones and subtly filter out the rest.
This year I haven't been trying to grow my web traffic, for instance. Instead I've been doing things to attract more targeted visitors, even if I attract fewer ones. Now and then I write posts to "scare away" visitors who wouldn't be a good match for my message. But the ones who make it through are a better match for whatever help I can provide.
Don't assume you have to serve everyone. Focus on serving the people you can help the most. There should be plenty of them to keep you busy for a lifetime.
