I’ll Just Wait Until The New Year

ByNicola

“I’ll just wait until the new year,” said my client. “Wait, what?!? That’s 3 months away!” I said. OK, to give you some context, this was an exchange during a coaching session I held a couple of weeks ago, with a veterinarian whom I recently started working with, who is looking to transition into freelance…
