We all know the feeling of finding a great shirt that fits your body type, we feel comfy, we feel confident and most importantly, we wear it over and over again.
In business, this is known as repeat customers and it’s the best case scenario.
On the flip side, we take on clients or projects that are a bad uncomfortable fit. We do work that doesnโt motivate us or customers that donโt value us. Itโs difficult to pay attention to the reasons why things arenโt working out when youโre waist-deep in the situation. But itโs important to try.
We improve on how we work best by paying attention to the cases that didnโt turn out as we hoped. Every unconscious compromise is a consequence of a failure to consciously set boundaries. Itโs up to us to discern, then create an environment that allows us to do our best work.
So do it today by giving yourself permission to set a high bar. Save your best work and energy for the clients and projects where you can make the most impact. Who or what is the best fit for you, and why?
