Short YouTube monologue (Chrissy Myers) arguing that clients respond better to honest boundary-setting than vague excuses; using family commitments as an example, the speaker emphasizes that it's acceptable to prioritize family and to communicate that to clients.
I think that clients appreciate that level of honesty and not. It's not just a wine example, but, like, any example. Like, hey, I'm doing this thing with my kid this weekend, and I can't do this, so, like, I'm having someone cover for me. And that's a much more palatable response for clients than, like, oh, you're just not showing up for me. No, I'm showing up for someone else who's more important than you. And honestly, my family is more important than you, and so I think it's important they know that, too.
