It’s okay to be firm with difficult clients. Some clients give you so much stress that you just want to let them go. They eat up your time needlessly, leaving you less time for actual clients or the work you have to do. Before, I would just be there for a client the second they needed me, regardless of what time it was or what I was supposed to be doing. This year, I started setting a maximum of 3 hours a week of real-time client support and an assistant arranges the queue based on urgency. Some overly demanding clients weren’t happy with this setup, but they understood that this would help me get work done faster.
