Picking Your Target

Is it alright to dismiss people you just don't like working with? Seth Godin said in his blog that some consumers are selfish, which is true, but would you really pass up a client if you didn't like the way he operated.

To get work you have to do good work and have a real human connection with your client. Well that might be hard since now a days everyone seems to want to take advantage. Well it's time to put on the gloves and fight back. You can either: put up with bad clients, just avoid the human connection factor, or just not work with ungrateful people. Which is the best advice. hopefully your other clients will be loyal enough to repay you in some way.

A client employ relationship should really be mutual for it to work best. Mutual respect in my opinion is necessary to achieving a good product. I was reading a book by Sidney Lumet a director and he was talking about have writers during the rehearsal process. (It parallels this scenario) One writer in particular would rush to change the script whenever someone was slightly apposed to it, he didn't have enough confidence in his work, another refused to look at the work from someone else perspective and refused to change anything. He got fired!

The point, there must be a balance! Both the client and employ must know what they want the product to portray.
