Thanks for the tip. I’ll add it to my reading list. Seems I always stick around longer than I should with a lot of the projects I take on from clients.

It’s a guilt thing, I think. But also, freelancers are always reluctant to turn down work – even if they know the project is doomed to fail. It’s my job to tell clients that their vision won’t fly. Once I’ve done that, and the client wants to continue, I sleep soundly without guilt. It’s not my job to tell clients they’re heading down a dead-end road time after time, so I help the client as much as possible.

Sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised and the project actually hits objectives, but most of the time it’s a lost cause.

Thanks for the post,
Paulie
