Today we are talking about Reason #3 on why beck and call is NOT a better business, which is: It’s Impossible to Maintain Peace and Balance.
If you’re constantly juggling unreasonable client expectations, it will be impossible to maintain any sense of peace and balance in your personal or professional life. You may feel like you’re sacrificing your personal life for your business, or the important professional tasks that cannot be completed because you’re catering to an overly demanding client.
At some point, hopefully before total burnout, you learn to recognize what’s really important: sometimes saying “no” is the best thing. It’s vital to learn to say “no” to over-delivering on services clients have not paid for; “no” to things you do more out of obligation rather than joy; “no” to things that consume your schedule leaving little or no down time or freedom to do what you truly want and love to do. When you’ve overextended yourself too far, the only way to regain a sense of peace and balance is to say “no.” (You can always say ‘yes’ later.)
You’re not alone. It’s common for business owners to find difficulty in saying no, especially to their clients.
Clients are necessary, but you do not have to sell your soul to win their business. You do not have to be at their beck-and-call to earn their approval. You only need to focus on delivering the best service and what you promised to deliver.
Establish client boundaries that support your personal definition of peace and balance. What works best for you? However that looks, design client boundaries to support your personal and professional life - and the success of your business. Deliver what the client agreed to pay for - no more, no less - and strive to deliver your absolute best each and every time - that’s good business practice.
