Jenny Wright: 我发现客户名单反映了业务的成熟度。如果客户让你感到不舒服,可能是因为你的业务在结构、信心、定价、定位、信息传递或界限方面存在问题。我一直是个乐于助人的人,但有时会允许客户跨越界限。重要的是要认识到,你吸引的客户类型反映了你业务的成熟度,并努力吸引更高质量的客户,这样可以减少倦怠,提高幸福感。为了实现这一点,你需要审计你的产品、定价和心态,逐步提高价格,并克服因害怕失去客户而产生的恐惧。你还需要建立界限,筛选潜在客户,并提供有价值的内容。最终目标是吸引尊重你、信任你、按时付款的客户,这样你的业务才能再次充满活力。

Am I attracting the kind of clients who energize me—or exhaust me?

Maybe you’re overbooked but burnt out. Maybe your rates don’t match your results. Or maybe you’ve just outgrown the clients you used to be excited about.

In this episode, I’m diving into something I’ve been thinking a lot about: how our client rosters reflect the stage our business is in—and what it takes to shift into something that feels aligned, energized, and sustainable.

After 14 years in business, I’ve seen it all: scope creep, boundary-stomping, people-pleasing (hi, former yes-girl here 🙋‍♀️), and that moment when you realize… this isn’t the work you want to be doing anymore.

This episode is equal parts reflection and strategy—so if you’re in a season where your business is growing but your clients aren’t matching that growth, we’re gonna talk about how to shift that, without burning everything down.

On This Week’s Episode, We Discuss:

  • Why Your Clients Feel “Off” Right Now: What it really means when clients ghost, exhaust, or outgrow your process.
  • The Mirror Effect: How your client list reflects the current maturity level of your business.
  • Boundaries, Burnout & People-Pleasing: Why good service doesn’t mean saying yes to everything.
  • The Trap of the Scrappy Start: Why staying in hustle mode too long will stall your growth.
  • Scope Creep & Undervaluing Your Time: Real stories and fixes you can use today.
  • The Shift to CEO Energy: What changes when you start attracting aligned, high-calibre clients.
  • Pricing for Transformation, Not Time: Moving from hourly rates to value-driven pricing.
  • Practical Strategies for Attracting Better Clients: How to audit your offers and evolve your messaging.
  • Raising Your Standards: How to qualify leads, screen for red flags, and finally stop client whack-a-mole.
  • Permission to Evolve: Why it’s okay to outgrow clients—and how to make space for the ones who truly get you.
