Go Away

 

fired

Well, this seems a little drastic, doesn’t it? You’re probably thinking, “Sweeney, aren’t you usually blathering on about getting MORE clients?”

 

Yep, I do blather. But a successful practice is about quantity and quality.

 

People take energy or add energy, all throughout your life. And you do the same—do you add energy to relationships, or do you take energy?

 

You are on a journey, on a path to career success as you define it. You need to be a thoughtful, caring person. But you also don’t need to get sidetracked by those who take more energy than they provide. Life and bodywork should be win-win propositions.

 

Is it easy to fire a client? No. But getting where you want to go isn’t always easy.

 

Review your client list. Are these people you look forward to working with? Do they take an active role in their wellness, and more importantly, yours? If not, serve yourself and remove them, and go find new clients you want to serve.
