I could just imagine the response if you started clocking the time and then gave them an invoice for it at the end of the week. They would probably start slagging you of on forums anout being money grabbing scammers.

Yes we all need new business but not at the cost of headaches and lost time babysitting. I can also tell you that this can be a problem in the corporate world but under different names.

A lot of this comes from experience and you get a gut feel for new clients, although sometimes it can be too tempting to turn away. If you're a new business then you have to balance the experience and client list with the potential problems! Interesting post and some good observations here.
