You want to grow your business, but to do that effectively, there are certain types of people you should avoid. Drawing from my own experiences and self-reflections, I underscore the importance of steering clear of those who disrespect your time, are overly price-sensitive, and complain excessively. These individuals can zap your energy and hinder your business growth.   Join me as I offer practical advice on setting expectations, recognizing detrimental patterns, and politely disassociating from such toxic influences—all while protecting your valuable time and energy.
