We met 4 times and I can tell they might be such a strong personality to deal with. Anyway I needed the money so thought whatever let's do it.

Gave verbal go ahead.

And then during contract signing, they were soooo nitpicky especially I gave them a pretty good deal plus the payment terms from there side was bad. Basically it was going to be a lot of take from there side.

I thought about it and ended up calling it quits with them in a professional manner. They sat they are disappointed but I think I dodged a bullet.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Lesson learned if its not a hell yes dont do it.

Well done! I’ve learnt to trust my gut. If I get bad vibes from the first few meetings or if they ask about doing it cheaper from the start, I’ll just walk away. Got no time for folks who don’t value my time.
