This is so true. I’min exactly the situation at the moment that this advice helps to stop. The annoying thing is that I took the job because I felt it would be a ‘nice one to do’ and might give some good exposure.

Nightmare client, internal politics…

The worst thing is that, if I’m honest with myself, I suspected this would happen right from the outset. The moral of this story is go with you initial gut feeling, it’s usually right.

Nice Post, thank you

I have always been picky with clients.

As an ICT consultant with 16 years experience, I fire on average one client a year, and turn down work on a regular basis because it doesn’t quite feel right.

Moving into freelance writing as opposed to ICT consultancy should be no different.

I agree totally, I have been freelancing for quite some time now and found it easy in slow times to take on something just to take it on but not have time for something more interesting to come along but it's not worth it. I think finding the right clients takes time and is part of a bigger strategy. I wrote up a bit about it recently if anyone is interested - Finding Work as a Freelance Software Developer may sound like software only but it's not.
