Like most things it’s a balance. I just meet too many creative types that view limitation, be it time or budget as an easy excuse not to do excellent work.

To prevent a client of taking advantage of this would mean clearly communicating up front that you cannot guarantee the results due to the time frame or budget. We know what type of clients like to play this game and what works best with these types is hedging their expectations based on their requests so they know responsibility for failure will at least in some way rest upon them.

Thanks for your comments.
