🪞 The one question that just made my client an extra $5K

I had a client on a call this week. Spiraling. 🌀 Retainer client demanding more work. Scope completely changed from what they originally agreed to. He was stuck in the loop of "but I want to be helpful but I don't want to push back but I need this client but I'm working until 1:30 AM."

🤔 I asked him one question...

"If you didn't own this company. If a friend ran it and told you what was happening. What would you tell them to do?"

⚡ He answered in three seconds.

"Renegotiate. Obviously. Or walk."

The advice you'd give a friend is almost always the advice you should be taking yourself. You're just too close to your own story to see it.

👀 When you can't see your business clearly, take yourself out of it. Imagine a friend just told you the same situation. Now answer.

💬 What's something happening in your business right now that you'd give a friend clear advice on, but you keep dodging for yourself?
