Quality clients, quality life

Please, for the love of God, work with quality people if you can afford to do so.

It's so much better for your peace of mind.

A bad client can be the biggest pain in the ass, causing constant stress as you wonder what their next complaint will be.

A good client appreciates and respects your time and effort. You don’t have to worry about losing them every day.

To help, here are a few things to watch for before taking on a client:

1. Do they show up on time? If not, they’ll likely disrespect your time in the future.
2. Do they DEMAND your time by asking for a ton of phone calls based on when is convenient for them? If so, they will continue to ask you for a ton of calls moving forward.
3. Do they complain a lot? Chronic complainers focus on problems, not solutions. No matter how hard you try, they'll always find something wrong.
4. Do they make a fuss about your prices? If they do, they’ll likely keep feeling your prices aren’t justified, creating ongoing instability in the relationship.

So please be hyper-aware of who you're taking on as a client.

After running multiple businesses over the past seven years, I speak from experience when I say:

Life is so much better with quality clients.
