I wish Amazon had a Wish List for Clients

I finally stopped to ask myself, “What kind of clients do I want?"
• The kind that have a realistic budget for the work they want
• The kind that aren’t afraid of doing something different
• The kind that are in love with what they’re doing
• The kind that don’t take themselves too seriously
• The kind that value my professional input
• The kind that value what I do for them
• The kind that ask good questions
• The kind that pay fast

So, what kind of person:
• has a realistic budget for the work they want
• isn’t afraid of doing something different
• doesn’t take themselves too seriously
• is in love with what they’re doing
• values my professional input
• values the work I do for them
• asks good questions
• pays fast

Does this kind of client exist? Am I expecting too much?

To get this kind of client, I must be the kind of designer who:
• knows how to realistically price my services
• like to try different things to get the best possible solution
• doesn’t take myself too seriously
• learns to love what my client is doing
• gives valuable input when it’s requested of me
• properly charge for the work I do
• give great answers to good questions
• invoices fast and makes it easy to pay me

I’m perfectly capable of achieving the above list of items. Now, I’ve want to find out what type of person/industry matches my wish list. This will take some more research.
In the mean time, if you happen to know of a client base that matches my description, please leave me a comment. What does your client wish list look like?

Success Metric

My wife teaches piano to buy our groceries and fund our sons ESA (Educational Savings Account). Each student gets one lesson per week, four per month. She told me last night that the things that suck the life out of her and suck the fun out of what she does are students that don’t want to be there and parents that don’t care either. I asked her how many lessons it takes for her to know that a student is not serious about learning to love the piano the way she does. She said, “I can tell after 3 lessons.” The students progress is proof that they are internally motivated to learn what she teaches them. It is also proof that there is a support person (usually a parent) that creates a supportive environment around them that is conducive to practicing, learning, and progressing. I had an idea for her business. All current students and new students will undergo a one month (four lesson) assessment period during which Kacey will decided whether or not to keep the prospective student on. Qu...
