When is the right time to fire your client?

How do you know when a client is a good fit?

1. You are willing to put aside time to work on a project for them
2. You feel compelled by the cause and are passionate about the impact it is making.
3. You are fueled by every conversation. Every time you speak with them you are motivated and energized, and feel even more creative.
4. You think of ways to help them at all times of the day
5. You are on the same wavelength about a lot of topics and are willing to go the extra mile for them, even though it’s not part of your mandate
   

How do you know when a client is no longer a good fit?

1. You feel completely drained after interactions with them
2. You work overtime trying to please but zero acknowledgement of this or apparent appreciation
3. It no longer feels like a partnership but more a knee jerk response to everything you do with them
4. Every conversation is about them and completely one-sided, in fact you begin to wonder, did they even hear what I said?
