You think it takes brains and guts to run a business? More than that. It takes integrity. The integrity to tell a client, "No, you can go with the cheaper package." The integrity to tell a prospect, "Your copy is great. Here are some ideas to freshen it up and you're good to go." The integrity to charge fairly when a client desperately needs a niched service or rush job. The integrity to give a referral gift even when they haven't heard of your latest offer. So that was my week. Less income, more integrity. But the more integrity I run my business with, the more blessing I see.
Definitely! It's so important to stay true to our values. While it might mean less money in the short term, in the long run, clients will appreciate our honesty and recommend us to others. It's absolutely worth it!
So important and not given the attention it deserves. And sometimes, it's so hard to feel good about saying no to more $$$$, but I'm sure you'll be seeing endless shefa- becuase of your commitment to honesty
I see this a lot. The more integrity, the better off you are in the short and long term.
Love this post! So true
