I can say I have personally been in the situation you speak of where the client wants to micromanage you...if you let it start to begin with, by the time you wake up and put a stop to it, it may be too late and you will ruin the relationship with your client - although it was most likely never the right client for you to begin with.</p> Point taken – excellent post…and it REALLY speaks to me!
