I will never forget the first client I should have fired.
Never again will I deal with that. I will eat a loss to avoid that nightmare.
A few months after that incident, I refused to do work for someone. They ended up going to my friend. My friend called me up and asked why I didn’t refer the client to him. I told him I didn’t get a good vibe from the client. My friend got better vibes. Started work. Ended up having a ton of change orders that the client signed off on. Then, he refused to pay because it wasn’t in the original contract. Turned out to be a huge ordeal. My friend wound up losing a ton of money on that job to “do right by the customer” I felt so bad for my friend. We agreed to head eachothers warnings after that.
