Our discussion centers on the complexities of identifying red flags and green flags during client interactions. We explore false red flags, the benefits of detailed clients, the importance of clear communication, and risks of improper client control.

• Differentiating between real and false red flags in client behavior 
• Importance of mindset and situational awareness when engaging with clients 
• Navigating false red flags: misconstrued client queries or demands 
• Recognizing that detailed clients often reflect a serious interest in the project 
• Understanding how deadline discussions can motivate or signal trouble 
• The perils of allowing clients to control aspects of the project management 
• A cautionary approach for negotiating without reasoning; knowing your worth 
• Building healthy boundaries and clear expectations for successful relationships 

If you're aiming to elevate your contracting business, understanding these dynamics is key to thriving in a competitive market.
