In previous emails, we’ve talked about how you may be putting up with sucky clients because of believing lies and living by the expectations of others.

Sucky Clients Root Cause #3 - Lack of Boundaries.

A lack of boundaries shows up in many ways. Some of them include:

Scope creep. Say a client hired you to manage their Facebook ads for a launch. You put together a proposal, outlining your responsibilities and your fee. They agreed and paid the invoice. But later, they ask you to ALSO write the ad copy and create the graphic (which you DIDN’T agree to at the outset.) That’s scope creep, and it happens all the time. If you lack strong boundaries, you may reluctantly agree to it (“That’s part of putting their ad together,” you justify), but you regret it and begrudge the client.

Letting clients push back deadlines, or blame you for things that aren’t your fault. Setting clear boundaries at the outset can make your expectations more clear. But sometimes you don’t know what can happen until it happens. (Life is a giant learning curve.) Have the confidence to stand up for yourself and enforce these boundaries.

Doing work you know you CAN do because you need the money, even though you don’t like it. This is a BIG one! How many of us chase the dollar instead of the dream? After all, we’ve got bills to pay, right? Now, sometimes when you’re just starting in your business, you have to take on less-than-ideal work with less-than-ideal clients. But that should not go on for long. Have the confidence to honor your preferences and say no to work that you CAN do, but don’t want to.

How is a lack of boundaries causing you to attract or hold onto sucky clients?
