I used to think the problem was my clients

I used to think the problem was my clients. That I just needed people to reach out already ready to get a cool tattoo, without me having to educate every client on cost and what actually makes a piece good.

But the real problem was I was burned out, and I had no idea how to set up my system to bring in the clients I actually wanted.

So I kept blaming the inquiries. The negotiating. The consults themselves.

I kept bandaging my symptoms instead of fixing what was actually broken.

Turns out consults weren't the issue, burnout was.

Comment or DM COACH if consults are draining you and you're not sure why.
