The wrong "Yes" is rarely dramatic (but it can be, I’ve had that happen personally).

​

It’s cumulative.

Imagine you underpriced a project by £300. It's not just going to cost you £300 in lost revenue.

​

You resent the work, procrastinate and then feel guilty and over-deliver.

→ That becomes 40+ extra hours once the scope creeps.

→ That blocks two weeks of capacity.

→ That prevents you from taking on a better-fit client.

→ Then it drains your evenings.

→ It makes you hesitate the next time you do a quote for a potential client.

→ It slowly, subtly lowers your standards.

→ And it chips away at your enjoyment of your business
    (and possibly your soul).

 

Suddenly it’s not “just” £300.

 

It’s your time.

It’s your energy.

It’s your positioning.

It’s your confidence.

 

It’s your future.

 

Most business advice talks about revenue. Some focus on profit.

​

Very little advice talks about erosion.

 

The erosion of:

Mental bandwidth.
Delivery quality.
Decision clarity.
Boundaries.

And because it happens quietly, it feels like your fault.

 

It isn’t.

 

You’ve just been making decisions without infrastructure.

 

​

The Client Acceptance Framework™ exists to stop that erosion.

 

It’s not about getting more clients.

It’s about protecting the right ones.

 

It’s about:

• Reaching a structured decision in under 10 minutes instead of ruminating on it for days
• Seeing the financial trade-offs clearly before you commit
• Quantifying energy cost instead of dismissing it
• Identifying red flags before they become scope creep (and how to manage them)
• Protecting 3 - 6 months of future capacity

 

Because one wrong client can contaminate weeks.

​

One underpriced project can distort your pricing posture.

 

One draining relationship can make you question your business.

 

If this tool helps you avoid:

​

• One £300 underpriced project

• One 40-hour draining client

• One scope-creep situation

• One month of blocked capacity

• Days spent ruminating on a decision that could take under 10 minutes

 

It has paid for itself many times over.

​

So What Is The Client Acceptance Framework™?

 

It’s a 13-question, weighted decision system designed to assess client fit across:

→ Profitability

→ Strategic alignment

→ Energy cost

→ Capacity

 

In under 10 minutes, you receive:

• A clear recommendation on whether to accept or reject the client

• Visible trade-offs

• Risk notes and considerations

• Optional boundary-aligned response guidance

 

Not validation, but Clarity.

 

Not emotion, but Structure.

 

You don’t need to become harder. You just need some objective support when money feels urgent.

​

Because scarcity distorts judgement.

Guilt softens boundaries.

And instinct gets overridden when the invoice would help.

​

This framework protects you in those moments.

 

Why Not Just Use ChatGPT?

 

Why use this framework, not just a prompt?

​

The structure is the point.

 

You could open ChatGPT and ask it to help you evaluate a client. But you would still frame the questions yourself, skip the uncomfortable ones, negotiate emotionally mid-process, and override red flags when the invoice would help. (And ChatGPT may just merrily agree with you).

​

This framework is fixed, weighted, and draws on qualifications and lived experience built into the question structure itself. The scoring reduces emotional editing. You reach a decision with evidence - not reassurance.

​​

​

 

Who This Is For

 

This is for you if:

• You’ve said yes to clients you later regretted
• You struggle to quantify “energy” in business decisions
• You discount to reduce discomfort
• You value sustainable profit over vanity revenue
• You believe energy is a business resource

 

Who This Is Not For

 

This is not for:

• Hustle-driven growth-at-all-cost founders
• Those seeking negotiation tactics
• Anyone wanting validation for a pre-decided yes
• Businesses uninterested in alignment or sustainability

 

This is clarity-based.

Not validation-based.

My Commitment to Integrity

This is business infrastructure - not coaching, not mindset work, and not income guarantees.

 

It does not:

• Replace professional advice

• Negotiate on your behalf

• Guarantee outcomes

​

I also expect integrity from my clients. So this is for your own personal use in your own business, it is not to be shared and not to be sold on.
