Don't you wish it were that easy to spot when a potential client is going to be a nightmare?⁠

⁠

While a pain-in-the-butt client isn't going to be shouting "WARNING!" from the rooftops, they probably ARE sharing subtle signs that they're not the right fit for you or your business. ⁠

⁠

On today's episode we've got 10 Red Flags You Should Never Ignore. Listen up, because we've learned the hard way to spot these 10 signs and we don't want you to have to do the same!⁠

Q&A time! Every 10 episodes we're answering YOUR emails and DMs. Send us your questions about interior design, business, how to handle difficult work situations, and more!
