A short YouTube monologue (by Peter Vander Wall) arguing that tax season reveals which clients are a bad fit—those who drain time, disrespect boundaries, and pay late—and that these problems stem from not knowing how to attract better clients. The speaker advises focusing on where to find better clients, how to communicate value, and improving marketing to prevent recurring issues.

Tax season just showed you exactly who you shouldn't work with. Again, you don't need a client survey to know who drained your time, who disrespected your boundaries, who paid late. The clients who cause the most stress are usually your lowest paying ones too. They're just so loud and annoying. And it's actually a symptom of a deeper problem in your business because you're saying yes to bad fit clients because you don't know how to attract better ones. What do I say? Where do I get in front of them? How do I communicate my value? That's the stuff you got to figure out, and it'll fix a lot of issues downstream from marketing.
