Raise your hand if you’ve ever lost it with a client 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

We’ve ALL been there. Those moments when frustration boils over, and you say something you instantly regret. It’s the worst! But, here’s the thing: it happens, even to the best of us.

Running a business is tough, and dealing with difficult clients can push anyone to their limit.

Even the most patient entrepreneurs have their breaking points.

Do This, Instead:

• Breathe. Before reacting, take a few deep breaths to regain composure.
• Step Away. If possible, excuse yourself politely and take a short break to clear your head.
• Set boundaries. Communicate your expectations and limits clearly with clients from the start.
• Apologize (if needed). If you reacted poorly, own up to it. A sincere apology can go a long way.
