I strayed from my process!
In this solo episode, I review a previous client project to share CLAIRE-ITY. These Burlington clients were busy working professionals with 2 young children. They were fabulous to work with and were interested in having me put everything together for their quaint sitting room.
Although the project went very well overall, the biggest lesson I learned was that it’s okay (in certain situations only!) to bend your processes a little, as needed. You have to go with your gut and look at the whole picture, to determine when this is okay. No ‘red flags’ here, just a great opportunity. Listen to the podcast to hear more!
