Your client should never be your friend. And your friend should never be your client. Money wrecks Good Relationships. If you cherish the friendship, do the job for free.
Don't be too nice and considerate about charging your fees. The person paying you will not be nice and considerate to you if you don't do the job or if you do a bad job.
Completely remove emotions and religion when charging your fees. It's either they can afford you or they cannot. From my experience, clients who think you're unaffordable usually spend more money on even more useless things.
It's really not about Affordability but Value.
Never agree to be paid later, unless the proceeds will be coming into your account FIRST. Otherwise, if the money goes directly into your client's account, he or she may no longer pick your calls.
Money reveals the worst in the best among us.
Caveat: An exception may be created for clients who once offered voluntary financial assistance. We must remember those who showed up in our darkest hour.
When it comes to business and money, promises means nothing to Nigerians. They'd promise anything just to get rid of you. Promises won't pay your bills.
Naturally, humans do not like parting with their money to someone else. But you can make it easy for them BY NOT DOING THEIR JOB OR BY WATCHING THEM SUFFER.
