Do you have a client who pays relatively little but takes up a lot of your time?
Constant emails.
Extra requests.
More reassurance than expected.
If this sounds familiar, the issue usually isn’t the client, it’s the boundaries that were never clearly set.
In this Quick Wins episode, I share 3 practical ways founders can build healthier client relationships while protecting their time and focus.
We talk about:
- Defining scope clearly at the start of a project
- Why over-delivering creates new expectations instead of gratitude
- Turning boundaries into systems instead of awkward conversations
Setting boundaries isn’t about pushing clients away.
