    And customer is usually not on the top....
    We all appreciate everything you learnt in Business Studies, heck, even I can remember some

    QQFY- How many repeat customers have you had/got?

    By putting the customer first, I've had plenty, in fact just on my 3rd "visit" to one particular client.
    I will have invoiced 500K+ by the time the next 6 months are done.

    Obviously YMMV

      So, why do you claim all customers are unreliable and all contracts are invalid?
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        It's very simple. The client has all the money. We want it. We have to play by their rules. Welcome to the real world of non-permiedom.

              If you are a company's director, you have to make that your company have profit by selling products, services whatever you want. You can't lose clients or contracts and you can't break your commitments unless there is a very good reason for that. If you leave a client, you need to make sure the doors will be open in the future. If you are jumping contracts to contracts without a valid reason, you will breaking bridges.

                  But if you do this and continue to get gigs with new clients and make money, exactly why is it a problem?

                    This could be considered a culture shock.

                    If in the UK you can do crap deliveries to the client and continue to get gigs move on...
