Do you choose your clients?
You might come back at me saying....is that even a possibility!
Everyone loves more clients because it means more growth, more money, more scale.
So saying NO to a paying client sounds like commuting the biggest crime because most entrepreneurs believe that the decision making powers about any deal happening or not is vested only with the client and as the service provider, coach, or consultant you are or ought to serve every client who comes knocking at your door!
But guess what - That’s not true.
If you are making yourself available for anyone and everyone - you are serving no one.
If you are chasing the wrong leads - your sales conversion rate will look really sad
If you are always on calls or meetings with prospects who are a misfit for you - you will keep hearing NO from them, facing more and more rejections which further kills your confidence in sales.
Getting the right people on the bus with you is very important in order to maintain sanity in your small business because serving every single client as a solopreneur takes time, energy, resources, and your personal well-being.
You owe it to yourself and your clients to serve those you align with your values, respect your boundaries, and believe in your expertise.
In a world where we are constantly struggling with FOMO.....you need to adopt and abide by a new mantra - DO LESS AND BE MORE
Be more available for yourself
Be more available for higher-paying clients
Be more available for your highest good to come to you - get out of your own way by weeding out the people who do not resonate with your energies, ideologies, and boundaries.

Free Do-it-yourself Sales Audit Workbook?
In my work with solopreneurs and small business owners, a constant problem area that I come across is the loss of sales opportunities due to oversight, lack of prioritization, or lack of experience. That's why I have developed this sales audit workbook which can help a business owner identify the blindspots and cracks in their customer journey map.?
Take my word for this – when you will give honest answers to the questions in this workbook you will have so many revelations about the sales process – it will be like peeling the layers of the onion and with each layer, you will get to the core of the problem area that is causing you to lose out on sales momentum.
