  “This is what I’m paying you for!’ “Why can’t you do it for free?” “I’M the target market and I don’t like it!” How many times have you heard these things from a client that has become the bane of your existence? Nobody in your team is willing to work with them because frankly speaking, you need an hour long prep-talk to deal with them.  No matter how many times you think you’re mentally prepared, they surprise you with something new. But rest assured, we know exactly how to deal with a finicky, narcissistic client.  Here’s what you should do: Set Boundaries from the Start First things first, add a list of policies and disclaimers in the contract before you ask them to sign it. This will help you legally in case the client decides to break the terms and conditions you have set. For example, the client should not call or text anyone from your team after work hours. They should not attempt to reach out to them on the weekends. Everything will be taken care of during work hours. Chang

Acceptance helps you to form a foundation for actions and words based on truth and reality. You are authentic when you accept reality, you stop living in a fantasy about how you wish things were. Acceptance gives you a clear vision, versus keeping your head buried in sand. It empowers you. The opposite of acceptance is denial which is an alarming situation for your well-being.

  Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that we’ve all heard of before but may not be too familiar with. The ALS Bucket Challenge also known as the “Ice Bucket Challenge” quickly became popular in 2014, with celebrities joining in on the challenge.

  What does it mean to have a connection with God? Aren’t we all connected to Him in one way or another? After all, He is the one who created us. He is the one who breathed life into us. We’ve all questioned God at some point in our lives and have felt guilty for it. Whether you are religious or trying to be religious, it’s crucial to create a connection with Him to understand Him better. So, how can you create a genuine connection with God? Here’s what you can do: Call Out to Him There is no right or wrong way to pray. But praying to Him and calling out to Him is important if you want to have a heart-to-heart with Him. He listens to us; He is in our hearts and our minds. He’s closer to us than we know. When you’re feeling anxious, distressed, or lonely, call out to God. Talk to Him in your heart. Talk to Him aloud. It doesn’t matter how you call out to Him; just make sure you do. The most beautiful thing about God is that you don’t need to subscribe to a religion to build a connection

  There are days when we feel like nothing really matters. We feel like life is meaningless and that there’s nothing worth living for. We’ve all been through those days. It feels as if there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. We feel exhausted and jaded. We feel like there’s no motivation left in us; no hope. Life looks like an endless cycle of mundane activities. But in a world that makes you feel average, YOU are the one who can make yourself extraordinary. You are the one who can turn the tables and find your mojo. Here’s what you should do: Give Yourself Space When it feels like everything is happening all at once and you feel overwhelmed, give yourself some time and space. Give yourself at least two days to figure things out. Disconnect from the world over the weekend, cancel all plans, and spend some “me time” in your room. Think about things, sleep it off, watch a movie, or go on a date with yourself. That “me time” will do wonders for your mental health. Set Healthy Boundarie

  As old school as it sounds, I still believe in the “no pain, no gain” ideology. I don’t believe in shortcuts, even when it comes to “working smart.” I grew up seeing my parents work hard to make ends meet. And when my father passed away, I knew that life without him wouldn’t be easy. When I moved to the UK, I as determined to make something out of myself. Today, I have a successful coffee shops around the UK. A lot of people have asked me how I ‘made it’ and I tell them all the same thing—you need to have strong values. These are values that will help you build a successful business. What are these core values? Let’s take a look: Accountability is Important You need to hold yourself and your employees for even the simplest tasks. You need to get into the nook and cranny of your business’s operations. You should look over the hiring, sales, deadlines, projects, and all the other elements of your business. Of course, this doesn’t mean dealing with major issues and problems. This also m
