When the client's wife / husband starts running the show from their living room. When they start questioning your quotes because the kid down the street says, "I can do that cheaper".

The same goes for my industry – design.

When the client’s wife / husband starts running the show from their living room.

When they start questioning your quotes because the kid down the street says, “I can do that cheaper”.

I heard the "my wife read it and didn't like it very much" comments to the project I completed to their specifications. My invoice was never paid and I refused to believe he seriously thought I was going to rewrite and edit the document UNLIMITED times for the same astonishing price of $300. Yep, been there done that!
