👉 Get Your FREE Clients Red Flag Checklist: https://www.skool.com/sound-foundations-8658/aboutWhen you're starting your audio career, saying YES to almost every opportunity can be a good thing.You need experience. You need relationships. And you need to get into rooms and actually do the work.But eventually, you have to learn another skill:When to say NO.After more than 40 years in the audio business, I've learned that not every client is the right client, not every project is worth taking, and sometimes the gig you turn down can be just as important as the one you accept.In this episode, we're talking about difficult clients, red flags, pricing, working for "exposure," opportunity cost, protecting your time, referring projects to other professionals, and knowing when a job simply isn't the right fit.The goal isn't to work with everybody.It's to build a career working with the right people.— Donny Baker The Business of AudioGet Good.
