Working with bad clients:
Working with bad clients:
- Distracts you from doing your best work for your best clients
- Ties you up from working with new and better-fit clients
- Creates stress which you bring home to your loved ones
- Eliminates the chances of you getting a referral in the end
- Reduces the chance of you being able to do a case study
- Drains you of your energy (physically and emotionally)
- Hurts your confidence in other areas of your life and business
- Burns you out more quickly—which is bad for business
- Creates risk like reputation damage, lawsuits, and other negative byproducts
As a consultant, you're the asset.
Working with bad clients is like allowing corrosives on your core machinery. If you don't fix it, you'll have no business.
Don't mistake revenue for a profitable situation.
Remove the acid in the vessel.
