Let me start: If you told me a few years ago that I'd be turning down $10k/month clients because they weren't the right fit, I would've laughed in your face.
Back then, I was saying yes to every opportunity that came my way, burning myself out trying to prove I could handle it all. Why say no to a client offering to pay money? All these one off, customized projects with the only similarity being somewhat at least a little bit related to SEO.
The idea of being selective with clients? Only saying yes to clients who were okay with my offer? That felt like a luxury I couldn't afford.
Now I know that being picky about who you work with isn't just about comfort - it's about building something sustainable. Sometimes the best growth comes from saying "no" to the wrong opportunities.
