Build a Stronger Business by Leaning Into Discomfort

Send us a text

Last week, while researching the topic of the "must have" business tools and resources, I was stunned to see Customer Service tossed at the bottom of the list, like a an afterthought. From my earliest days of being employed, customer service has been at the core of what I do, and without good customer service practices in place I don't think I would have a business. Seeing it listed as such a low priority and got me asking A LOT of questions. 

Those questions lead me to today's episode building solid relationships by leaning into discomfort first. According to a Psychology Today article, Embracing Growth and Relationship Discomfort "Strong and fulfilling relationships require vulnerability, open communication, and a willingness to embrace discomfort."  And that is what we are going to be doing today.
