Episode Description from the Publisher

Welcome to Training for Translators, the podcast for translators, interpreters, and other multilingual word people, helping you do better work, earn more money, and enjoy your job.  This episode is based on a LinkedIn post, which was based on a question from a student in my online course alumni group. How do we turn down work from clients, and are the clients likely to come back?  It's a dilemma we all face, and it depends on how much you want or need the client's work, whether the client works with other freelancers, and how much you have to work in order to reach your target income.  If you enjoy this podcast, you should subscribe to my mailing list for weekly free tips! You can do that in the sidebar of any blog post.
