I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'

In this episode of the "Treat Your Business" podcast, I want to talk about people-pleasing and how it's affecting your business growth. As health and wellness professionals, we often over-service and over-deliver because we genuinely care about our clients' results and want to be seen as experts in our field. This desire to please others can lead to scope creep, where we end up doing more and more without getting adequately compensated.

One of the main reasons for people-pleasing is the need for external validation. We want to hear that we're doing a great job, and it becomes a part of our ego to receive such praise. Another reason is fear; we worry that if we don't say yes to everything, we might disappoint others, lose our reputation, or be seen as only interested in money.

However, it's essential to set clear expectations and boundaries right from the beginning of our client interactions. By doing so, we can avoid over-promising and under-delivering, which often leads to frustration and burnout. Our needs as business owners must be met first for us to deliver the best service to our clients.

Saying no strategically is more powerful than saying yes to everything. It allows us to focus on activities that truly move our business forward and avoid diluting ourselves with unnecessary tasks. Self-reflection is crucial in recognising patterns of people-pleasing behaviour and setting healthy boundaries that will support our business growth.

I invite you to take a moment and reflect on your actions. Are you over-delivering and people-pleasing more than necessary? By documenting these activities and analysing your patterns, you can identify areas where you need to set better boundaries and say no more often. Remember, it's okay to say no strategically to prioritise your business and well-being. Let's take steps towards a more successful and fulfilling business journey together.
