Description

In this episode, I share three difficult client experiences from my time running a pet sitting business, along with the valuable lessons that came from each situation.


I talk through how I ended up severely undercharging for a demanding job, what happened when I allowed a client to constantly overstep my boundaries, and how I learned to recognise red flags before taking on new work - yikes haha.


These stories are real, honest, and shared with the intention of helping other business owners feel less alone in the tough moments.


In this episode:


- The reality of undervaluing your time and services

- Learning to spot when a client isn’t the right fit

- How to set boundaries from the beginning

- What I do differently now to protect my time and team

- If you’ve ever dealt with a challenging client and come out the other side feeling frustrated or burnt out, this episode will feel familiar.


Interested in mentoring?

I work with pet business owners at all stages. If you’re ready to grow, improve your systems, or set better boundaries, feel free to reach out to learn more.
