The Importance Of Being A Dream-Client

775 Words4 Pages

You read about them, hear about them but haven’t met them yet.
You’ve probably already had a few great experiences with clients.
But those fantastic people who will fall in love with your work and can 't wait to send a deposit to hire you giving you all the freedom you need to create, haven’t appeared yet.

I may disappoint you, but I’ll tell you a big secret:
There are no dream clients.
Unfortunately, the born-to-be-a-dream-client breed doesn’t exist yet.

There are however, normal people -with their goods and bads- who will happily transform into dream clients, only in 1 situation:
When they meet the creative professional of their dreams!

This explains a lot!
Like, why for instance, some creative freelancers enjoy working with wonderful people while others …show more content…

I’m sure you guess who was responsible for this transformation.
Definitely not the good fairy!
It was me, who had totally turned from an insecure and naive, semi-amateur into a seasoned professional and an excellent psychologist.

So, if you want to switch to the dream creative, everybody would like to work with -although some cannot afford yet- keep reading!
Just don’t expect an instant transformation.
It normally takes time, since it’s a combination of experience, confidence, quality work and right strategy.
You will however have some useful insights on what’s keeping you from working with quality clients and how you can avoid common mistakes most of young freelancers are making.

But, first of all you should honestly answer a simple question:
Are you really awesome at what you’re doing?
Are you an excellent designer, writer, photographer, illustrator or architect?
You don’t have to be the best, but you must definitely be beyond average or unique in your niche.
Otherwise, your chance to attract quality clients is very slim. You can however, keep working and improving day after day.

I take for granted that you are an outstanding creative. Now, keep on
