I used to have plenty of these “clients” also. I shook them off when things started getting serious with my business, just like you. It is the best thing I ever did.

If your clients don’t appreciate that your time is valuable then you really shouldn’t be wasting your time helping them.

There are plenty of businesses who once they find you will stick with you regardless of your rates as long as you provide a good service. Having worked with you, I’m sure that providing a great level service wont be an issue for you.

Keep focusing on the valuable clients, don’t even think twice about the broke or unappreciative ones.

Not at all Rich, this certainly does not apply to you. Not only are you a paying customer, but also a friend. I’m always happy to help.

This blog post is only meant as a friendly reminder to those who I have discussed the issue with and offered a retainer service but have refused and continue to ask for help.

I look forward to catching up with you on a sunny afternoon in France with a beer sometime. I.T. certainly beats working in the bar!

I have to admit I am that crap.

Sorry Gordon – I have the gear but no idea.

Sometimes I think I’m getting better.

Gordon – Did I ever tell you I ran an IT project after running pubs for JDW; I really will try harder.

That said I think I may not be the worst.
