Firing Clients

Thursday, March 6th, 2008
What’s that you say - you can’t fire a client, you think it’s a crazy idea.  Well, read this article from the Reading Eagle )3/2/08) and you might just change your mind.  We fire clients all the time in fact, we just don’t realize it.  Ever decide you didn’t like either candidate for office and decide to write someone in, vote for a third party candidate, or just not vote in that race - guess what, in the same sense you fired a client.  Ever break up with a girlfriend/boyfriend?  Then, in the same sense you fired a client.  We fire clients all the time.  

Why do we do this, the article sights several good reasons.  I have one additional reason - you refuse to lower your standards.  The clients you keep do business on your terms and everybody benefits because you can provide higher quality service to your clients. 

Enjoy!

Detachment

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

We all know the importance of setting goals.  Goals give us direction.  Goals keep us going.  However, how attached are we to these goals? It’s one thing to set goals, but how often do we become so attached to the outcome, that we lose sight of what we should be focusing on? Detaching from the outcome means setting the goal, but being focused on the here and now.  It means being truly present, being who you need to be right now, focused on doing what you need to be doing right now, and not focused on future activities.
