Clients from hell traits: -- don't understand the agreements they make or sign -- spend more time training them on matters they said they understood -- exhibit or tell you stories about ways they've been unethical or their dishonest behaviors -- expect you to create proposal (paperwork, etc.) immediately, but getting them to follow up is a big chore -- don't have the authority to make a decision

Once a year, add your holiday hours to your Google My Business and BING Business profiles.  Next, publish this information on your website, too.
