  I've had to relearn this one several times over: If on the first introductory ("how do you do, nice to meet you") meeting you get the slightest inkling that the client does not understand the project they are asking for, or does not respect your expertise, you must walk out immediately. Don't think about the fee you might have made. Don't think about the whatever prestige might have been attached to the project. (Those are illusions. Bad clients don't pay on time... or at all. They argue about what they've already agreed to. They call and email when it is not appropriate. They become unnecessarily aggressive.) Just walk out. No, run. Run. Run run. Good clients are just around the corner. And the best of clients become more than clients; they become long-running collaborators.
