the worst clients are the ones that will run if anything like goes wrong immediately like
00:00:07.040
gosh like we had we had an issue where with someone when we moved because we were moving
00:00:12.340
countries and like we had we had two clients right and one we had issues with when we like
00:00:18.180
we kind of i'm just going to be honest we were slacking that month because we had to move i
00:00:22.180
moved countries right right and one of them was like hey these are problems we're not like we're
00:00:27.420
here to work with you and so like i'm just letting you know these are problems so you can fix them
00:00:32.880
and the one like ripped me off for a month like they they yeah and the guys that walked away
00:00:39.840
they're like at the same number of subs they've like lost so their presence i would say right and
00:00:45.640
the one that stayed got a hundred thousand subscribers in six months right exactly dealing
00:00:50.580
with clients with no patience when anything goes and it's not like you're attempting to but things
00:00:56.560
happen it's like life and so you know it's like the ones that assume your bad faith does that
00:01:03.240
make like they're just waiting for a reason to get mad at you you're like i just keep them right
00:01:08.180
that's what i told them like they ripped me off for a month and i'm like just keep the money i
00:01:12.660
don't i'll just good luck you know that's why i think most people should not be managers because
00:01:18.160
like what made me a good manager was knowing that people like the full life cycle of a person like
00:01:25.260
if someone was really good to me but they had two bad months in sales let's say they're one of my
00:01:30.420
sales people back then yeah like if it was any other sales organization they would have got fired
00:01:35.520
but i was smart enough to be like actually how about you take the next month really off and i'm
00:01:39.780
gonna pay you money out of my own pocket so you can take a real go take a real vacation and come
00:01:44.100
back so like so like i was very smart at like not looking at someone so transactionally and looking
00:01:51.560
at the full life cycle of a person and i find the same way when people join with with what i do the
00:01:56.360
ones that look at it of like hey i want to get here in three years those people always make it
00:02:01.240
and i have so many i mean i have hundreds upon hundreds of people who get to like 10 grand a
00:02:04.680
month of like passive income through seo or whatever um but those people had a long-term
00:02:09.880
view it's the people who are like i need to get to this place in three months
