In this mini solo episode of The Art of Lost and Found Podcast, I share how I grew my income by taking on 45% less clients.


I'll share my own experience and insights on the importance of choosing the right clients (and saying no to the wrong ones), recognizing when it’s time to make strategic shifts in your clientele, and how creating systems and automating certain processes can make everything flow with more ease, less time and stress. I open up about my own experiences of moving from low-paying clients to those who truly value quality and are ready to invest in their own growth. And most importantly, I talk about how crucial it is to design a business model that aligns with your core values and allows you to serve your clients in a meaningful way.
