For many years as my business grew I felt I needed to say yes to every client that contacted me. Other than making me incredibly stretched trying to do everything in my business it also meant that many of these clients weren’t really ideal.
Now let’s just take a few steps back and look at why I did this. Firstly I had a fear that if I said NO they would go away and choose another designer therefore I would loose a client and then I may have no work. Secondly there’s the people pleaser that wants to make sure that everyone is looked after, and while this client maybe out of your area or it isn’t work that you enjoy you say YES just so you don’t feel bad. What’s the point in that right!
