That mentor who told me to fire my first client was right all along

My buddy Dave at a Phoenix networking meetup said I'd lose money keeping that $500/month client who demanded 24/7 updates, and after 8 months of stress and zero growth, I finally cut them loose last Tuesday so has anyone else had a client that was more trouble than they were worth?

Wait, are you sure you didn't just need to grow a thicker skin? I mean, $500 a month is still $500, and the economy's tough right now. @mason_flores21 brought up that cat analogy, but sometimes you gotta work with what you got, even if it bites you sometimes. That client was paying your bills, and now you gotta find someone else to fill that gap. Maybe you could've set clearer boundaries instead of just cutting them off.

My neighbor kept a cat that bit him for two years before he gave it away.
