I'm planning to require a minimum of 10 hours per month. I know I am going to lose one or two clients over my decision. But I'm finding that some clients who pay for the least number of hours tend to be the most high maintenance in the long run. They're the ones who always seem to want something for nothing. So I'm shooting for quality over quantity.

I'm giving myself a few more months to firm up my plan, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to change my mind. My goal is to have a small number of quality clients rather than 100 clients who pay me for one or two hours a month.

It may be a tough lesson learned, but I'm at least going to give it a try.
