We have a small business offering service. Service to top 5% richest people. I think I took on too many clients at once (my fault) thinking the service providing them will be short term but for all happened to be longer than I thought.
All these clients must be A type personalities with a freaking ADD. They comment on every and each detail, they change their mind 1000 times a day (not sure how they can handle business but somehow they are in the tops), after finally making their mind, the result they agreed on now they don’t like it, we fix it, now they are looking for completely different solution and it goes on and on.
At this point my heart beats high, I feel like I am going to have heart attack. Working with these people really frustrates me and stress me. I am under a lot of stress, pressure and getting to a point where these A types starts to manage me.
I guess I am not looking for any judgement at this point but I wonder how do you handle that the most annoying, and judgy people don’t get under your skin?
I guess I have troubles separating business from personal. I take my work very seriously and so it is kinda personal. At this point I am also not ready for questions type of what’s up with my boundaries as it’s no longer relevant. My batteries are depleted and I am closer to burn out every day.
I appreciate any help and of course condolences please. I know this is Reddit but please don’t be harsh on me
ADDITION: thanks everyone for commenting and suggestions! Very helpful . I also want to share these books that were reccomended by some of you for handling clients/marketing/expectations better and hope it may help l someone else too: 1. Never split the difference. 2. Built to sell. 3. no Bs marketing to the affluent. I am going to dive into it!
