Anxiety is a normal part of business, and most of us manage our emotions pretty well, using those feelings to inspire or motivate. However, if you have a sinking feeling in your gut at the thought of one client or have difficulty facing a project because you must interact with this individual, that is not normal—you have a wrong client.

If you already feel like screaming at a client who just requested your services, then get out, now!! Not every client is right for you, and that’s A-Okay. So, once you’ve discovered one is the wrong client, it’s time to disengage. Save yourself and save your business; wrong clients can cost you time and money—and your reputation.
