When Cheap Clients Cost You the Most & Your Gut Gets It Wrong Ep. #360
About this episode
In this heartfelt solo episode of the 47 at 47 series, John Pajak shares two brutally honest lessons that shaped his business and his mindset.
Lesson #4: Cheap clients may look profitable on paper, but they can bleed your business dry in hidden ways.
Lesson #5: Your gut can be a great guide but without data to back it up, you're just guessing with confidence.
John opens up about clients who drained his energy, moments when emotion clouded logic, and how learning to pair instinct with insight helped him build a business rooted in both profit and peace.
This episode is dedicated to John's daughter Claire even though she's not on the mic, her presence is felt in every word.
