Once again I came home to work in my kitchen from 10 to 1 because a client was coming to the office to talk to my people and me. He is a great guy and comes in and he is so enthusiastic and full of energy that I don't get any work done for hours when he's here. I enjoy his company, but I have a business to run. We've told him how much it costs per hour for him to be here but he is unphased. He comes anyway and pays his bills but I've got a 911 engine to rebuild and all kinds of stuff to do and I don't want to be rude but I DO want to pursue my own agenda. His billing isn't everything. Plus, if he takes up time to the exclusion of other clients and then goes away, we're stuck with no clients. It's a delicate balance and I don't know how to gently tell him to slow down without upsetting him. Any suggestions?
