Hi reader,

Managing relationships is often about managing expectations.

We know the relative that can’t keep a secret.

The friend that is chronically late.

A colleague that is quick to point the finger when they feel guilty.

The ease happens when we accept that they will likely not change.

Then boundaries must be set.

Communication must be leveled up.

Acceptance must be part of the experience 🤷🏾‍♀️

Scale yourself and your business for less

  • Manage proposals, contracts, invoices, and payments

  • Get the tools to build stronger client relationships

Over time, the secret gift we receive is objectivity.

They tell other people’s secrets because they don’t know how to bond with folks otherwise.

They are late because they overpromise to everyone for fear of not being liked.

They blame others because so many of their own faults constantly stream through their head.

It doesn’t make them better.

Nor does dealing with them become more pleasant.

But underneath that understanding, we may find a modicum of empathy.

And that opens up the previously closed door ever so slightly 🚪
