When setting a boundary with a client means risking losing them

I can keep a difficult client happy, mostly. But the moment I need to draw a line, say no to the after-hours texts or the creeping scope, I freeze up scared they'll walk. So I bend again, and resent it, and the line never gets drawn.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You can manage a hard client, but setting a boundary without losing them feels impossible.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
