Balance your workload with care. Once you have "enough" work, hopefully you have other firms you can refer unwanted work to. My small business is run by a guy who A) isn't growing the business and B) says yes to every assignment. He's burning out, I'm burning out, and one of our best people burned out and quit last month. It's a nightmare.

I was thinking a kind of get-in-line attitude. We can get to you but not for 6 months, that's just how it is.

This way you just end up with the shit clients that no one else wants.

If you find a client who's a better fit than 80% of your clients that 80% get's pushed down the line.

Might work, depends on how loyal your clients are.
