The list is very thoughtful and concise - I like that. My philosophy about dream clients is simple: If I want to snag a dream client, then I put every effort into my pitch to demonstrate that I am the dream freelancer. I am clear, honest and respectful from the word go. And once they are a client, I try to treat them as if they were the only client I had.

None of mine have given me gifts, though a couple have said the magic words: 'quality is more important than price.' Karen, it's a great idea to remind yourself about the good things about clients.

Those are the clients that truly make business a joy. I've only been in business for three years so my ideal client has shifted as I have grown. Last month, I made a list of my dream clients. I then listed why for each client so that I could identify common traits. Was it the type of work, the length, the industry? I do this at least 3 times per year and while core characteristics have not changed (their attitude, approach to the partnerships, timely payment,etc)I often discover new aspects, specific to the type of work that curls my toes. I know that many clients think of you as their dream writer and I am so thankful that you share that joy with your readers!

Mine would require me to submit daily posts recapping my first hand experiences with the premium amenities available at the world's top spas and resorts. They would, of course, provide me with an American Express Black Card to cover my considerable research costs. And they would compensate me in advance with weekly wire deposits into my Swiss account. I’ll keep you posted on my search for this client. Wish me luck!
