How To Avoid Nightmare Clients . . .

Thank you Chris! Your advice rings very true.

I aspire to being able to afford your services!

In the meantime, I gotta start charging for my services. I’ve been trying to build business by “free line services.”

Doesn’t work. People use me up, don’t even get a recommendation or testimonial. No worries, live and learn! I’m starting in a new business anyway, so I am building my skill set and building confidence as well.

Your comments about putting oneself in a position of low power really resonates with me. I do it all the time. Don’t know how to stop doing it. I would consider paying money to learn how to get out of this habit. Measuring results might be a problem.

thank you for that great info …

You rock! Thanks so much for this! I’ve been dealing with some nightmare clients recently and I’ve just reached the point that I want to get better at choosing my clients.

I love the idea of asking yourself “can they do this themselves, but they know I can do it better” – pearls of wisdom!

Thanks again!

I work in the arts, among other things. My clients tend to say “I love what you do!!” If they demure at my prices, I say “This is what I have to charge in order to do what you love”.

If that doesn’t work, they aren’t a client. It really can be that simple.

Hey, Chris. We met through Neil and hit clubs a couple of times… Awesome site

Always interested to hear your thoughts, Chris.
Truly, it is a matter of confidence and self-worth.

Tick ‘identification’ off the list.

Now, what should we do with those nightmare clients once the project has begun? How do/did you mitigate the ‘damage’?

I’m looking forward to your insight.
