Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm your host, Paul Alex.

I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.

I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals.

Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six.

Get ready to level up right now.

What's up, everybody?

Welcome back to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex, and today we're talking about something that most entrepreneurs avoid.

How to identify and fire toxic clients.

Let me keep it real with you guys.

Not every dollar is worth it.

When I first started building my businesses, I thought I had to take on every single client, no matter how demanding, no matter how disrespectful or draining they were.

That was a big mistake on my part.

You want to grow, you got to protect your time, your team, and your peace.

So here's how to spot a toxic client.

They consistently question your value.

They drain your energy and push boundaries.

They expect VIP service for budget prices.

They treat you or your staff like you owe them something.

Red flag after red flag, guys.

Now, here's what winners do.

We set boundaries.

We're not afraid to walk away.

When you fire a toxic client, you open space for better ones.

Clients who respect your work, who pay on time, who actually let you do your job.

It's not about ego.

It's about standards.

And you can't build a high-level business if you're entertaining low-level behavior, guys.

Look, the bottom line, you don't work for toxic people.

You lead your business.

You act like it.

You cut the dead weight and you make room for clients who help you grow, not pull you down.

This is the Level Up Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex reminding you, you don't need more clients.

You need the right ones.

Keep your standards high and keep leveling up.
