Ngl I finally fired my worst client last month and wow
I had this client from a real estate agency in Austin who kept asking for new header images every single week. After 8 months of constant revisions on a simple $500 a month retainer, I finally told them no. Honest to god, the time I got back let me take on two better clients who actually respect my process. Has anyone else felt that weird relief after cutting a bad client loose?

Wait, you actually fired a client that was paying you? I used to think any money was good money, but god that sounds like a weight off your shoulders. Last year I had a woman who wanted me to rewrite her entire website every time she changed her mind about her business name. She paid me $300 a month and it took up all my evenings. I finally told her I couldn't do it anymore after she asked for yet another round of changes on a Sunday night. The next month I took on a local bakery and a dog walking service that actually listened to me. It's crazy how much lighter you feel when you stop trying to please someone who will never be happy.

My friend let a client go last year and said it felt better than getting a raise.
