The dilemma of firing a client is a complex one that every consultant faces at some point. On one hand, there's the desire to make the client relationship work, not wanting to be seen as a quitter, and the revenue that the client brings in. But on the other hand, there's the toll it can take on your peace of mind and the potential harm to your overall business.
