Episode Synopsis

Ever get caught in the slippery slope of "just this one favor"? If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll want milk… then your nights and weekends. In this episode, we break down the mindset and mechanics of protecting your time, because no one will value it more than you do, and how that single shift transforms profit, sanity, and client quality. You'll learn the difference between a customer and a client (and why only one belongs on your calendar), how to stop pricing with your wallet in their pocket, why order minimums are the simplest boundary with the biggest payoff, and how saying "no" (without excuses) ends scope creep before it starts.   Highlights 00:00 Don't make these same mistakes we made early on in business. 03:45 Who should sponsor the podcast? 15:30 What assuming your client's budget is costing you. 22:00 How to set and keep boundaries that honor your time (and your clients too.) 27:00 Just because it's how everyone does it, doesn't mean it's how it should be done. 33:45 Is doing favors hurting your business?  38:45 Your business is NOT for everyone. 43:00 The first hard lesson we learned in business.   Resources + Links Apply for Luxury Clothier Collective Mastermind HERE More resources for custom clothiers HERE Watch on Youtube   Follow Appointment Only in IG: @appointmentonlypod
