Helps to remind me that openess and generosity of spirit is never a mistake, in business or in life. Thank you for sharing such a thought provoking, counterintuitive, and inspirational message.

One of my mentors used to say "do what you love, what you would do for free, and the rest will follow". It's true. I love giving personal, loving attention to each of my clients. I love listening closely and remembering important stuff. My best days are the ones where I make each individual cup of lemonade. Thanks for the imagery to take into tomorrow.

This is a conversation I've had with several like-minded peers: how can we effectively be present and invested in our clients and give them the best service they deserve, if we are seeing 40(plus?) clients per week - hour after hour, day after day, week after week? For me, 15-20 is the maximum, leaving opportunity to read, write, collaborate, research and engage in other activities that, first, rejuvenate me, and also impact my bottom line in a way seeing another 20(plus?) clients would not.
