Tired of clients who can’t pay your rates?
Or of friends who aren’t heading in the same direction as you (or moving as fast as you)?
Frustrated with having to make the same points to the same hard-headed mofos over and over again and they still don’t get it?

Maybe you don’t need to sell them on why you’re worth the price. You don’t need to look down on those misguided friends. Don’t explain yourself again to the non-listeners.
