❓When was the last time you ”fired” a client? There’s nothing wrong with having strict standards for how you conduct your business, including the kind of client you find acceptable.
Those standards create boundaries. Clients need to honor your boundaries, and sometimes, the path to success involves letting go of those clients who fail to respect your standards.
Glitch #50 was the first time we broached this topic which was more than eight months ago.
