Spilling some tea. On the time I worked with a millionaire, a multi millionaire. This person had a medical practice as well as an online e commerce store. They begged to work with me even though I initially told them I didn't think that we would be a good fit. And by the end of the project they were threatening to sue me. Let's get into it. This person reached out to me and wanted to work with me right when my business was really blowing up last year and I was booked so far in advance, I was booking people like four or five months in advance. This person had a pretty lofty undertaking, but they also had a really outdated website and they were pretty popular, quite well known on the east coast. And it would have looked really good for me to say that I worked with them. And this was the one thing that ruined me, was me wanting to look good for having said I worked for someone. Because otherwise I would have not worked with this person and it would have never been worth it. And it wasn't worth it. With every single one of my potential clients, you have to get on a 30 minute design call with me. You don't have to spend the whole 30 minutes, but they are at most 30 minutes because time is money and I don't have time to talk to you for three hours. Every single one of them.
