It's an interview episode! Haven't had one of these in a while, so you know it's a good one
In this episode, I'm chatting with my friend, collaborator, and top-tier copywriter, Kaili Meyer of Reveal Studio Co. We are 2 spicy chicas that are always talking about boundaries: why you need to set them, how to enforce them, and lately, what exactly to say to make sure you don't come off "like a b*tch." Like Kaili always says, the only people who are going to think you are being a b*tch for enforcing your boundaries are the people who benefit from you having none.
Talking points:
* why it might not be someone's fault for violating your boundaries (cuz ya never told them)
* the importance of communicating your boundaries (bc they are not one-size-fits-all)
* how to make sure that you are being paid for your content or discovery calls etc. (& how to educate the person asking why you have this policy)
* why you don't need to be "aggressive" or "cold" to communicate your policies (you can be a nice human when saying "no")
* the importance of contracts (& that they accurately reflect your policies to back you up)
* how to make sure people actually read your contracts (so they are informed of your boundaries)
* when to be "nicer" & let things slide (versus when it's actually impressive to see someone stand their ground)
* what exactly to say when you need to stand your ground (& why you should create scripts before your emotions get involved)

Have you ever wanted to hire that expensive coach / consultant, thinking that they MUST have the KEY to your success & wealth? It's not always what it seems - and usually, the higher the price tag, the higher the risk they are fooling you (we call them "ware wolves" around here).
It's the spooky series! ✨ 👻 A safe space for us to talk about nightmare situations that inevitably pop up in business (& how to prevent them). This month-long series will cover spooky stories (based on true stories) that I've heard / experienced as a lawyer with 10+ years' experience (& since entering the online space in 2017).
Today we are talking about 🐺 WARE WOLVES 🐺 >> the people who act one way before you hire them... & then totally turn their backs on you.
They could be...
* people who overpromise & underdeliver
* "narcissists" who gaslight you
* coaches / service providers who sweeten you up to hire them... & then ghost on you when it comes time to performing
Tune in to hear how to stop them in their tracks before they switch up on you.
