I’ve been struggling lately with losing a couple of long-term clients, and it’s really shaken my confidence. One left for a competitor offering slightly lower rates, and another said they “needed a fresh approach.” I always thought I was doing everything right—responding quickly, being proactive—but maybe I missed the mark somewhere. It’s making me rethink my strategy for retaining clients, especially in such a competitive market. Have you ever dealt with this? What’s worked for you to keep clients loyal when other options are pulling at them?

Gift giving help: every year around this time my husband brings up his Jan bday and basically demands I spend a lot of $ on him. I find this stressful. I don’t do big lavish gifts but each year I feel pressure to or he won’t be happy. When I say this he immediately launches into “haven’t I done this for you, bought that for you”. “If you loved me you would”. His entitlement and manipulation make me feel super resentful and removes the fun of celebrating him. FWIW we earn the same. What to do?

Career advice that I give to the people I manage- do one more thing everyday that you weren’t going to do or didn’t feel like doing- for your team or for your client. Could be notes, a follow up, a reminder, raising your hand to tackle and drive something-whatever. That little extra effort against something you didn’t “have” to do, every day, overtime will make you invaluable
