They’ll agree to a plan, then change course. They’ll say one thing and do another. And the consultants who struggle most aren’t dealing with the worst clients… they’re the ones who keep getting emotionally blindsided by normal “people business” behavior. In this video, I share a pattern I had early in my career... opening a late-night client email and letting it hijack my mood, my family time, and my leadership the next day. Then I break down a practical way to handle unexpected client situations with less stress: protect your evenings from email, pause before reacting, accept what you can’t control, and expect the unexpected as a realistic stance, not a pessimistic one. 🚀 Whether you're just starting or scaling past six or seven figures, this channel is your go-to resource for building a high-performing consulting business. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:18 - Clients Will Surprise You 00:44 - Alignment Is the Real Marker 01:14 - When Work Spills Into Life 02:11 - The Cost of Constant Reactivity 03:07 - Four Ways to Handle Curveballs 05:20 - Outro 🔗 Stay Connected & Keep Growing: 👤 Michael Zipursky → https://www.linkedin.com/in/zipursky 💡 Join the #1 Consulting Community → Get direct access to 6- & 7-figure consultants, expert coaching, and the strategies that work TODAY.
