I've been thinking lately about how to make better decisions on what to pursue and what not to pursue, when it comes to business.

In my line of work, I encounter many scenarios which can be real time suckers, if you don't have some kind of system to weed out the losers.

Right now I'm focusing on the 'Red Flags' concept.

One of my pet peeves is lack of proper and/or effective communication.

When I ask something of a client - they need to respond. Otherwise it's a "one-way street".


I've just recently experienced two situations where the client didn't effectively respond to my requests.....so I dropped them. I have another who might get dropped - he's on a short leash right now.

I don't have to take every job that comes my way - I never run out of work and like to enjoy the process. I'm skilled and very attentive to my work. I deserve clients who are good team players....good communicators.

It's nothing personal but if you don't understand how to be a good project partner - it's not a good fit.

I'm curious as to how others here look at the 'Red Flag' concept as it pertains to business....
