Sorry always seems to be the hardest work to use in a conversation with your clients, but ... It may be the way you can save your business when a mistake or misunderstanding happens.
We are all human, we are going to make mistakes, forgetting a client deadline, shipping an incorrect order, missing a meeting.... the list goes on!

Passion vs Hard Work: The True Cost of Doing What You Love
04 Sep 2024
00:26:59
This week Farley is joined by Nisha for the first or a regular new episode feature - Desk Discussions.
Where we speak the truth about myths, clear up any burning questions or delve into new ideas.
In our first Desk Discussion, we tackle the common phrase - "Do what you love and never work a day in your life".
Although it's true, working on something you are passionate about, is so much fun and way better than trying to pursue a career in something you dislike. However, running a business is more than just playing an instrument, leaving your mark on a painting or building a new structure.
It's something that you need to be on top of your game, not just when you are doing the thing that fires you up, but when your attracting new business, recording your finances or making sure you order enough stock.
Building a business is great, but know that it's harder than people make it sound or look.
