People often get these two things mixed up, they toss them into the same washing cycle, but they are completely different. You are probably familiar with the concept of under-promising and over-delivering. However, from an online business perspective, it isn\u2019t very helpful. We have a hard time putting boundaries around the space and time in our business and our life, and because we have such a hard time putting those boundaries around things when we talk about over-delivering, it becomes too much of an ombre line. There isn\u2019t really a fine black distinctive line between one side and the other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s talk about a few things:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concept of under-promising and over-delivering.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When something costs you time it costs you money.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it&#8217;s costing you more than it costs you to acquire a new client, it&#8217;s too much.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just because you have over delivered does not mean to say that you now need to undercharge.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can do something quick doesn\u2019t mean you should charge less.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we&#8217;re waiting for clients for something if they don&#8217;t deliver that&#8217;s on them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clients constantly messaging you at all hours of the day and expecting immediate responses.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between over-delivering and over giving is that over-delivering doesn&#8217;t cost you anything. In fact, in some cases, it&#8217;ll make you money. When you over give, you are drained, because you&#8217;re over-giving, there&#8217;s nothing left. Overgiving literally drains everything right out of you. It doesn&#8217;t feel good to you or your clients. Be mindful of how you&#8217;re feeling when you start to wonder if you \u201cshould\u201d be overdelivering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This episode is about the difference between overdelivering and overgiving.
