Running a service-based business can be deeply rewarding — and occasionally, very challenging. Have you ever dealt with a client who moved the goalposts repeatedly, ignored the terms they agreed to, and still blamed you when things didn’t go their way? How did you handle it?

Hi @lovable thanks for this awesome product and idea. We are having issues with our plan. Will you be able to help? Thank you!

Has anyone had a user pay for a plan, use the software, delete their account, and then dispute payment claiming they never received it?! Given how banks handle disputes, they’ll likely issue a refund. Ofc, Stripe still takes the fees, regardless of the outcome. #buildinpublic

When another similar service openly slanders you on posts that mention you, what would you do?

We did it! What an intense day! Lessons learned: 1. Know your goal: ours was awareness✅ 2. Be unique & authentic: we used our story and value prop - it resonated🙏 3. Promote early: we didn’t do that cuz we didn’t know lol. We were able to catch up tapping into all network.

Ever deal with difficult clients? How do you manage? Had a client who insisted on texting responses, with constant communication at night! Difficult personality, hard to please. #buildinpublic

It takes more time and cost more to train new staff than retaining existing. Do what you can to help someone improve on the job #buildinpublic
