TIB580 How To Say No To Sh*t Jobs (and Stop Wasting Time)
Or Subscribe On Your Favourite Device

While it’s easy to blame certain clients for wasting your time, being difficult or worse still, taking advantage of you, there IS something you can do about it. The first step is to take responsibility for your own processes (or lack of them!) and how you ended up working with ‘that’ client in the first place. The second thing to do is figure out a way to say “no” to the time wasters, tyre kickers and D-grade clients before you make the mistake of sinking hours of your time and $$ into them. Nic and Waz run through some practical steps to help you avoid the sh*t clients and take control of your customer list once more.

She interviews guests on a range of topics such as marketing, finance, human resources, legal issues, mindset, motivation, physical and mental health, industry updates and more! Nic loves a laugh and a good story, so tune in for a unique look at how to ‘get off the tools’ and break the cycle of financial hardship and stress to create the trade business you really wanted!
