Thanks for linking to my Ad Age post and the kind words of support for the position. While it is a difficult practice to perform, the ends justify the means.

You’re right. I guess you need to know who you can reject and been assertive to follow through. I think if you are at that stage then you’re definitely on the right path. Think I’ll set that as a goal.

Gafroninja, I guess that’s the biggest thing holding people back. But both big companies and freelancers should have the guts to (reasonably) reject clients.

I suppose if you have the money behind you to reject clients. It’s a great idea in theory. I’d love to make the transition to freelance, but I need the steady income.
