You, my designer friend, are your best and most important client. Everything that makes your business what it is starts with you!

Why, then, do we always put the issues of others ahead of our own needs?
Why do we think that a client's feelings are more important than our own?

If your foundation is not secure, you are of no use to anyone, especially those in your business.

In essence, just like they say on the plane....
put your own mask on first, then take care of everyone else.

I KNOW this is hard to do! I have struggled with it too! But in this episode, I am going to give you 4 ways to become your own best client and serve your family, your business, your vendors, your trades, and anyone else around you in the most optimal manner.

Come with me on my morning walk on this episode! I am shooting from the hip with no script, just my thoughts and a plan of action for you.

Here's the 4 methods to learn to be your best client that I will discuss in this episode:
1) Prioritizing Your Own Time
2) Prioritizing Your Own Finances
3) Prioritizing Your Own Mental Health
4) Setting Your Values to Align With All Of The Things Above

I hope you enjoy this episode and take it to heart to apply to your own business and start the journey to treat yourself as the VIP client that you are!
