How to Avoid Clients From Hell Before They Hire You

Some clients just suck. There’s really no nice way to put it. Learning how to expose and avoid them BEFORE you let them hire you will keep you from tearing your hair out (and stave off the gray hair for just a few more years).

Of course, it’s fun to joke about it… but dealing with hellish clients is actually serious as… well hell!

That’s because getting good at avoiding clients who just don’t fit well with your personality and how you operate will help you avoid getting seriously burnt out and overwhelmed.

And, it’ll keep you loving your job which will make you happier (and helps you make more money).

John, you shared something very personal. That is the hook to the trust you mentioned in this video. You hit on the emotional nerve. It is a component called empathy; placing oneself in someone's shoes.
I wish you and your family much success!

Super helpful man, I've been tearing my hair out because of annoying clients recently. Mostly just: Generally rude demeanor, penny-pinchers who need lots of attention, "i need this tomorrow"s, etc...
I've always assumed it was more of an issue with how I set my contract, but this has been helpful. Thanks.

I think there are also many points to think about, such as - some clients do not pay the amount after work has been done, some clients suddenly ask to deliver just tomorrow, some clients change the design but without talking earlier, want everything for cheap but best quality, etc. How to avid these types of clients?

Thanks John, this is one of your best motivational videos !! One thing: do you suggest that new freelancers build their business around selling easily customizable templates or coding every website from scratch and adjusting it to their clients' needs and preferences?
