Listen Later

A new inquiry just landed in your inbox. A fresh commission just walked in the door. 


So… now what do you do?

Whether you’re feeling rusty, launching something new, or simply haven’t onboarded a client in a while, this episode will help you reclaim your footing and lead with confidence — even if you’re still figuring things out behind the scenes.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

  • Why the start of a client project often feels like starting from scratch

  • The power of having a clear, written process (even a simple one!)

  • How to prepare for common client questions

  • Why communication and realistic timelines are everything

  • And how to build trust with clients — starting from day one

    If you're ready to guide your next client with more ease, structure, and calm confidence, this one's for you.
