I wonder, today, if the client is only as bad as you allow.
"You are as good as your last client" < that is a quote right?!Especially after listening to this talk, "What clients don't know and why it's your fault", http://aneventapart.com/news/pos…
BUT...
I did get a little pissed off when a client of mine last week said:
"I mean I can do this job myself but figured we should hire a designer to get this done" - Ms. Policy DirectorAdmittedly my clients began to shift as I began to reshape my thinking.
