Quotations
“When you're going through stressful or busy times, make sure you hang on to your WHY to help you get through the times of craziness” - Rob Da Costa
Setting Boundaries with Clients: "It's much easier to get your boundaries with clients right from the beginning than it is to put them in place retrospectively. After all, if a client is used to you responding as soon as they send an email, then, of course, they expect you to respond immediately every time they send an email!" — Rob Da Costa
