So often, coaches, consultants, and professional service providers give away their services without giving it much thought.
Giving away too much of your time or not charging for your services as you should, does not establish you as an expert and professional.
In today’s episode, I discuss how to set boundaries in your coaching and consulting business so that your clients don’t take advantage of you and you get to make more money for your excellence.
“Clients will not realize the value that you have until you establish the boundaries.”

About the Guest - Jeff Schuster
Jeff is an engineer by training, spent decades in sales, and eventually started, grew, and sold his own energy services company that served the Rocky Mountain Region. His company grew to 30-employees with revenues of over $10-Million dollars per year. After selling his business to a publicly traded energy services company, Jeff became a regional Vice President of that company. After a few years in this role, Jeff self-diagnosed himself as "burned out". He was tired and wanted a break and resigned. After a few months of catching up around the house, Jeff decided he wanted to go back to work as a small business consultant.
A friend convinced him to get his life coaching certification. For the past six years, Jeff has mixed his Core Energy life coaching skills with his business expertise into his coaching practice called "Mechanics & Mindset Business Coaching". He primarily coaches energy service company CEO's on how to grow their business, while they live full lives to avoid the burnout he experienced in this same industry.
