“While being you and truly sharing what you do will bring happiness to others, you won’t find contentment merely trying to keep others happy.” ― Rasheed Ogunlaru
I was talking to a client of mine who was upset because one of his clients was not happy with the work carried out.
He was so upset to a point that he stopped doing any work that day.
After some discussion, this is what came to light.
My client was trying please his client instead to moving them (his clients) towards their goal.
When your focus is to please your client, you are inviting misery.
When you focus on pleasing your client, you hand over your power to someone else.
You cannot control the happiness of your clients.
Instead, why not help that client get to a measurable goal.
You can add tremendous value to your clients by helping them reach their goal instead of making them happy.
