If you work with clients, know that you are the single greatest obstacle to your own success.
Your focus on lack, your search for validation, your need to be liked, those other insecurities you never mention but the ones that clients always seem to bring to the surface.
All of this is no accident. It’s exactly how business is supposed to work. The clients show you WHO you are being so you can fix it and move yourself up to the next level.
As you move, you get more respect, more money, more clarity, more success.
If you’re lazy, you just complain.
Complaining is the mark of a loser. Of a person who has not yet awakened to the fact that HE is actually in control of his own destiny.
To offer power over that to others, which is what is happening when you complain, is not only insane, but is exactly what the Matrix trains you to do.
There’s no way you can maximize your potential if you spend your time complaining about your life, your business, your spouse, your children, money, politics or your [INSERT THE THING YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT.]
You are always creating. If you use that power of creation to complain, you create things to complain about. It is a habit that most people never step beyond. Mainly because they are SCARED.
Scared to shoulder responsibility. Scared to carry power. Scared of being noticed. Scared of having to defend their opinions, decisions and actions.
This is the reason I publish Making Clients Pay. It’s to help you remember. To keep you on your path. To remind you to always hold onto your power, to always serve as a leader, to always remain focused on the problems you get paid to solve…and to charge A LOT for the privilege of someone having you in their life.
I made the thing I could have used all of those years when I was blowing up profitable client relationships because I was dumb, immature and scared.
You don’t try to win in business. You decide if you’re going to win or not and then you make it so.
The complainers aren’t going to change. My best advice is to never be one of them and march boldly in the direction of your dreams.
