    Lost a client? Do THIS!

    Lost a client? Do THIS!

    Heard this before? "I need to cancel my services." We’ve been there too, and today we’re talking about this common yet dreaded scenario for service-based providers: losing a client. 
    But instead of viewing client loss solely as a negative, I prefer to see it as a growth opportunity. Negative feedback pushes us to innovate and improve at an accelerated pace. 📈
    I walk you through my exact process when facing client departure in our agency:
    Assess external factors: Is it due to client losses, a shift in their offer, or the completion of a project?Clarify expectations: Did we clearly outline deliverables and meet them, or did we overextend ourselves?Identify internal breakdowns: Was there a lapse in our internal processes that led to dissatisfaction?Implement preventive measures: What steps can we take to prevent similar issues in the future, whether it's improving our quality control or refining our client vetting process?
    ✨Remember: There's nothing more valuable than somebody who's going to be brutally honest with you. 
    Tune in to the full episode for real-life examples and actionable steps to turn client loss into a catalyst for growth. 🎧

    Mindset Shift That Skyrocketed My Business

    Mindset Shift That Skyrocketed My Business

    Today's episode is all about a mindset shift that has completely transformed my life, and I'm excited to share it with you because it has made such a difference in my mental health and overall well-being. ✨
    It’s called The Grid and it shows how we think about things influences how we feel, which in turn affects what we do and the outcomes we experience. To put it simply, your thoughts shape your life! 
    The good news is, you have the power to change your thoughts and, subsequently, your reality. It's a matter of being aware of your thoughts, acknowledging them, and then intentionally choosing ones that serve you better.
    I've seen firsthand how flipping the grid can transform negative thought patterns into positive ones. It's about becoming an observer of your own thoughts and understanding that you are not your brain—you have the power to decide what you think and how you think it. 💪
    This episode may be a bit different from our usual topics, but mastering your mindset is foundational for success in all areas of life, including business. So grab your journal, start flipping the grid, and get ready to create the life you've always wanted.
    ▶️Hit play on the full episode now to transform your negative thought patterns into positive ones!
