About this episode

Do you like Halloween? Are you dressing up and trick-or-treating? I love it and can’t wait for some fun and candy with the kids. 

 

Today, we’ve got a spooky topic on the podcast - scary clients. 

 

Whenever I speak to entrepreneurs about their fears, many of them are around having scary conversations with clients or dealing with difficult clients. 

 

It’s a rite of passage on your business journey to have a few nightmare clients, so hopefully, today’s advice will make that a little easier when they pop up for you. 

 

Or if you’ve had nightmare clients in the past, this is an excellent opportunity to heal and let go of any horror stories
