Get Rid of Bad Clients Take a look at your client list and see if there's anyone you'd be better off without.

For instance, do you have clients who are never satisfied withyour products or services, no matter how hard you try? Or do someof your clients think the rules don't apply to them? Are theyconsistently late paying bills? Do they demand more than their fairshare of attention or expect round-the-clock care? Maybe someclients are simply taking up too much of your time to beworthwhile.

If any of this sounds familiar to you, it might be time to saygoodbye. Of course, you should never deliberately offend a client.Break the relationship off gently, but never leave a client in thelurch. Remember, what comes around goes around.
