Is there such a thing as a perfect client? Not sure, I don't think so, they are people and have their own goals and dreams and sometimes what they do will not fit into your business plan, accept and realise that it is the complexities that make us interesting.
Like any relationship the rosy hue wears off after a while, then you settle in, getting to know each other deeper and deeper. At least thats how it is for me.
Last year I looked at all my clients and realised there were similarities between all of them and myself and the businesses. I know why they buy from me, I know what it is that they do differently, I know that the heads of the companies we work for are the usually black sheep, either in their families or amongst their peer group. I know that the staff we hire are the blacksheep like Gandalf and I.
We do things differently, earlier, bigger and more crazy than some people around us. I have slowly pruned the people away from our lives who question why I do this or that, how can I have the time to be doing so many things, why do we not have this or that or have children and blah, blah, blah. Yawn, I tuned out after a while.
It reminds me of the quote when someone asked Phillip Adams why he does so much and he answered, "Why do you do so little?"
This is it kids, one chance, don't waste it listening to others naysay or try to confine you to their own opinions of you, Happiness is when you let things happen and do not fight change. Keep saying yes and see what happens!
