You can use the concept of "non-negotiable" habits and standards with two different types of clients. The most powerful case is with "slippery" clients who haven't yet learned to keep their word to themselves.

In this solo episode, Howard discusses how to invite clients to make certain things non-negotiable, as well as how to deal with their "edge case" reasons why not. Plus a fun look at the etymology of "non-negotiable."
