Wilkinson, LMSW, Esq. | Business Coach & Consultant Sick of clients asking for "just one more thing"...again and again?

Maybe you've Googled "how to fire a client" or "contract for services" more times than you'd like to admit.

Sound familiar?Welcome to the Managing Client Disputes - the podcast for Service Providers who care - and the podcast that helps you set boundaries, protect your energy, and confidently handle the messy, awkward, and overwhelming parts of working with clients. Whether you're dealing with scope creep, ghosting, or clients who don't care about your values (or your value), this show is your permission slip to stop people-pleasing and start protecting your peace (and your pay).Hosted by Sheila Wilkinson - licensed attorney, social worker, and patron saint of troublemakers - this is whe A Sound Startup Tim Sinclair Friends and family are always super eager to share with an expectant couple that having a child is going to change their lives forever. And, of course, those friends and family are right. But the innocent, starry-eyed parents-to-be are usually too busy picking out onesies and paint colors and wipe warmers to pay much attention to the warnings. Plus–in the couples defense–the only real way to know what that bundle of joy is going to do to your wallet and waistline and Wednesday night poker games is to actually bundle that joy up, put it in a carseat, and bring it home.After nearly three years as the founder and CEO of RINGR, I feel much the same way. I had heard what startup life was like. I had seen several friends go through the process themselves. But I didn’t truly know anything until I experienced it myself. My perspective was so clouded by user journeys and logo design and pitch decks that I couldn’t possibly wrap my brain around the impending roller coaster ride.“A Sound Star Reddit video downloader Brian Pauler Reddit video downloader with sound - Free and fast
