I mean, I remember there was a time where I ran a clinic I'm still mad about this. All right, but I ran a client. This was like 10 years ago and There were three parents who paid and I sent out a newsletter saying this is where we're doing it This is the link to register had everything how I thought I thought it was set up, but it wasn't set up, right? And there was like seven parents who literally just showed up that were part of my email list or they heard about it and they dropped their kids off and they left and I was too nice back then and I trained those kids and Should have collected because I think the clinic Was a hundred dollars per person. It's like a three-hour thing. I lost seven hundred dollars that day because I was too nice right and At the end of the day like yeah, those are bad parents like that shouldn't happen Like no normal parents should do that like that. That's awful But the thing is is like I attracted those people into my life and at the end of the day It's not their fault. It was my fault and once I started to tighten things up within my business those stories of like, oh, I can't believe my clients did this those started to shrink and I can think of now like, you know, over the last couple years, of course, there's There's going to be problems with clients. Like that's normal. It's natural with any business doesn't matter But you'll get a lot less of those When you clearly define who you want to work with and you clearly define the Standards that you want to set with clients because a bad client is never going to join your business If you have really high standards in the first place if your standards suck You're gonna attract a lot a lot of low quality clients All right, and I tell coaches this all the time in my program It's like ultimately the people that you attract into your program. They're a reflection of you So if you have really terrible clients Normally, it's it's a coach who's really disorganized. They don't have any standards They're letting I don't know like the way that their clients treat them. That's how they would treat any other business and so, you know, your clients are a direct reflection of who you are and Those clients can be a players Meaning they get it. They're on time. They're not messing around with the payments If someone misses a session, they're not crying about getting a private one-on-one makeup session with you If they're part of your group program They're not asking for refunds. Like if you want a players you have to change who you are and That's just straight up. Like there's nothing else I can say about that other than You have to attract the type of client that you want, but you have to change and be that person Right and that was something that took me years to figure out. But once I figured out, I was like, man Like I have a lot less crazy stories to share Because I'm not dealing with those types of clients anymore because I had to change So I hope this helps, you know If you're running in a bunch of problems with your business first check yourself like what are you doing wrong? They do you even have standards in place? Who are you attracting into your program? Are you just allowing anyone to join your program just because you want money? All right, normally if you run your business that way, you're going to fail So quickest way to failure in this business is by working with bad clients because as a coach You don't enjoy working with those clients. That's number one. Number two, they're not gonna pay you bad clients. Don't pay All right, there's no other way. I can explain it other than they're not gonna pay you They're gonna miss payments. They're not gonna take you serious they're not gonna have skin in the game and When you decide to make that change Your whole business changes like very quickly When you decide, all right, I'm gonna raise my expectations I'm gonna raise my standards and only you get to decide to do that Which is my favorite thing about business is like I could take any competitor in my city If they don't have high expectations the way that I do they're gonna train all the crappy clients I'm gonna train all the best clients Like you see how that works. It's pretty simple. Like if my expect if my expectations are low with clients I'm gonna have a miserable business. It's gonna suck. I'm gonna wake up every day to problems All right, I'm gonna have all these crazy stories about my clients who aren't paying. They're showing up late Like that stuff can stop happening when you take charge that's it for today's video if you want to ramp up your business you want to Create like a system within your business.
