That sinking feeling when you see *that* client's name pop up in your inbox? Yep, we've ALL been there...
Hanging on to energy-draining clients who question everything, implement nothing, and have you working harder on THEIR success than they are.
In this episode, I'm dishing the honest truth about the art of "blessing and releasing" clients who are flat-out wrong for your business. I share my personal story of how releasing ONE high-paying but high-maintenance client transformed my entire business approach. Plus, you’ll get a step-by-step framework for having those uncomfortable-but-necessary conversations that lead to total FREEDOM.
You'll learn how to shift your mindset, attract only dream clients through your messaging, and master the exact language to use when parting ways—all without burning bridges.
Want to stop letting wrong-fit clients block your growth and start creating a business filled exclusively with clients who make you go "HECK YES!"? Tune in now!
