The unreasonable client.

The underachieving employee.

The unprofitable product line.

Those kind of headaches suck up your time and steal your profits.

Let ‘em go.

One of the best ways to gain financial freedom is to eliminate the obstacles to it.

Say “see ya” to the client who bellyaches about your every bill. Bid “bye bye” to the member of your staff with the lousy attitude.

Rid yourself of the products, and stop promoting the design services that never sold, and never will.

 And remember: obsolete marketing materials are more of a hindrance than a help.

Study your stuff.

Trash the moldy, oldy photos in your portfolio. Scrap outdated brochures.  Burn those promotional pieces dating back to 1999. Replace that tired and uninspired
voicemail message.

And look carefully at that personal promotion photo of yours.  Is that really what you look like now If not, lose it.

Fast

The bottom line: you can sabotage their success and compromise your career by holding on to too much, for too long.
