Your Clients Are Not Your Friends

The Category Queen Show

Kinsey shares from the heart a very important message. As business owners we need to speak our truth and not fear being disliked by our clients. It’s all about making healthy boundaries with yourself and your clients. After all we aren’t here to be our clients friends, we are here to provide a service for them.

Do not miss these highlights:

02:19 The idea of becoming a chameleon - being a people pleaser could create discomfort.

03:45 There is always that inner child within us that will resurface at different levels of our business, in different phases of our lives, and in different seasons of our journey.

05:32 Kinsey’s take-awyas from the mastermind she attended in Nashville.

06:39 Speaking your truth is good enough.

07:59 You are serving your client at your highest level by saying the right thing and serving them in what they need, not necessarily what they want.

08:30 When you operate through friendship or likability, it will not create growth.

10:02 Sometimes it can be uncomfortable for you to speak your truth but it’s what's right for you and for your client.

10:54 Sometimes being that mentor and being that coach, may also mean that there could be a conflict

11:33 You can have both a friendship zone and mentor/client zone, but make sure you have a clear delineation

About the Host

Kinsey Machos, Marketing Strategist, is also a recovering people pleaser, self-sabotager, and corporate hustler. She helps entrepreneurs create and execute magnetic marketing and build expert brands so that they can get known, seen and heard online.

She believes that creating a business that’s 100% in alignment with SELF is one of the most important things that we can do as women -- because there’s an inner magic that we all have if we commit to an infinite pursuit of discovering (and re-discovering) that.

As a wife and a mom of three, family takes priority. And having a business that’s ran AROUND her lifestyle is a daily intention of hers.
