Around 20-30% of customers, first dates, or just people in general are AWFUL to deal with and you should run away from them.
50% are going to be normal and alright to deal with
20-30% are going to be great.
Mix up the ratios however much you want but always remember there's going to be a percentage that are awful, a percentage that are decent, and a percentage that are great.
It's easy to get some shitty clients, extrapolate that out to mean that all people are like that, and get discouraged. It's also easy to get some amazing clients, extrapolate that out to mean that all people are like that, and get overconfident.
There's millions of shitty people, millions of decent people, and millions of amazing people. There's more than you could ever possibly meet. There's more of them all interested in a single small niche than you could possibly meet.
Whenever you come across someone that you don't like, or a customer that sucks, or someone that doesn't like you, JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
There's thousands and thousands of girls RIGHT NOW that would think you're cute and want to date you, there's thousands and thousands of customers RIGHT NOW that would pay you thousands to do simple digital marketing work for them...your biggest problem is that you need to get yourself in front of all those people.
When you internalize this, you'll stop taking it personally, and you'll stop undervaluing your services. It's a numbers game. In business and in life.
You'll learn its more about how you position yourself that will get you the results you want. You're probably marketing yourself like a rookie. You probably rely on "word of mouth" to grow your business, or worse, you're probably relying on freelancing sites. If you want to stop getting pissed on, don't stand where the piss is coming down. Don't ask for an umbrella, don't tell the piss to stop coming down, you have to reposition yourself.
