OK, that narrows it down some, I look for passionate business owners.<\/p>\n
Passionate business owners who are fun.<\/strong><\/span> As a recovering engineer, I\u2019m the first to admit that I have a warped sense of fun, so let\u2019s sum it up with: I find fun in passion. It\u2019s contagious.<\/p>\n It helps that I like to learn. I find that people who are passionate about what they do, enjoy explaining it to others. I enjoy catching some of that passion, learning about what makes them so excited, and explaining it in a way that gets other people excited too. And, if not excited, at least interested. Yes, I find it fun. And, yes, I\u2019m warped.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve worked with flakes and control freaks, energy healers and scientists, and had a great time with them all. There are only two clients I would not take on again: the man who had no passion, and the woman who could not make any sort of accommodation for how I work.<\/p>\n Ah, another attribute: at least somewhat accommodating. I bust my buns to work with my clients in a way that works best for them, however, there are some things I have to do a specific way. For example, I know that email communication is the best way for me to keep a record of what\u2019s happened, what\u2019s wanted, and what\u2019s said. A client that will not check and\/or respond to emails is not a good client for me.<\/p>\n Finally, I need them to have enough income to pay me. As much as I love my clients, and am inspired by their passion, I do need reimbursement for my work. Because it is work. It is work I love, work that fulfills me, work I am glad to do, and work that has value and deserves compensation. Better yet, it is work that others generally do not enjoy. How many people \u2013 me included \u2013 have you met that went into business to write?<\/p>\n Oops, that leads me to one more attribute: appreciates writing.<\/p>\n So, a passionate, fun, nonjudgmental business owner who will appreciate my work, make some allowances for me, and pay my invoices<\/strong><\/span> is my ideal client. That doesn\u2019t seem like too much to ask. Who is your Ideal Client? This comes up with great frequency in the world of entrepreneurs and I frequently feel as if my answer is inadequate. The goal is to be able to describe this person so well, that people can see him\/her in their mind. You want your description to be so complete that […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":672,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[114],"tags":[190,188,189],"class_list":["post-671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-ownership","tag-business-passion","tag-ideal-client","tag-passion"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/torawriting.com\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Ideal-Client-Cloud-220x300.png\")
I do not find fun in judgment. Our opinions on politics, god, nature, science, and sex education can be as different as the day is long. Do not judge me on my beliefs and I will not judge you on yours, and if that\u2019s not possible, then I\u2019m not the writer for you.<\/p>\n
\nDo you know this person?
\nIf you do, would you please send them my way? I\u2019d love to meet them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
