I finally had to choose between keeping a client or keeping my sanity

A client kept asking for endless revisions on a logo, saying 'just one more tweak' for two months. I had to pick between firing them or working for free. I dropped them last week and already feel lighter. Has anyone else had to cut a client loose over scope creep?

Wow, that "exposure" must have been the same kind that keeps the lights on and food on the table.

Remember that client who wanted a free website?

Oh man, "free website" just unlocked a core memory. That guy, @jamesc79. He wanted the whole store with user logins and a custom design, but his budget was "exposure." The best part was when he asked for unlimited revisions too, like it was a favor to let me keep working for free. Some people really think our time and skills have zero value. It's wild.
