PROJECT OF THE WEEK
The True Cost of Negativity
One of the best parts of owning your own business is you have the privilege to choose who you work with.
You can choose to work with people who are supportive, respectful, and who choose a win-win attitude.
You can choose to earn revenue and enjoy the journey.
You can also choose to say enough is enough and move on with a client or an employee that better aligns with your values and brand.
Getting Started
I understand how hard it is to turn away clients. Or, often worse, to let go of an employee who is good at what they do, but no one wants to be around.
Sometimes this is straightforward. If a client is keeping you up at night, they likely aren't a good fit. If you dread seeing an employee when you walk into the office in the morning, you probably know it's not the right fit.
However, sometimes it's less obvious.
Have you ever had a client let you know they no longer needed your services and then you realized how much unnecessary stress their business caused?
Have you ever had an employee quit and then realized how much happier you were picking up the responsibilities they left behind?
We often underestimate the cost of negativity.
Negativity is unmotivating.
Negativity changes the atmosphere.
Negativity reduces creativity.
Are there people in your personal and work life that you don't look forward to seeing, spending time with, and working with?
How much is this costing you?
How would you feel if they were no longer in your life?
Would you benefit from being more proactive about who you spend your time with and energy on?
I know I would!

Meet Sarah
Growing up as the oldest of nine siblings in Upstate New York, I learned to use organization to create sanity among the chaos. Today, I work together with individuals, families, and small businesses to create habits, systems, and spaces that support their needs, goals, and dreams. Clients often refer to our work together as "life-changing" and "better than decades of therapy". What I love most about my work is the lasting impact it has on real people's lives. Nothing makes me happier than hearing the many success stories of clients I have worked with.
