Anchor Client <\/strong>– A client you take on that gives you no motivation or satisfaction but it works in the moment, ie. Pays bills, keeps you busy, you\u2019re afraid of a lull in your schedule.

5 signs you\u2019re working with an anchor client:<\/strong>

\u2728 You mostly feel drained and uninspired about the work

\u2728 You recognize that you can\u2019t grow your portfolio from this job

\u2728 The client\u2019s demands always feel high but their standards are usually low (in other words, they just want the job done fast, doesn\u2019t matter how pretty it is)

\u2728 It feels impossible to move on and quit as badly as you\u2019d like to, because you\u2019re afraid of losing a client, hence you\u2019re \u201canchored\u201d to it

\u2728 Client doesn\u2019t value your advice and input as an expert

I\u2019ve mentored designers to help them break up with anchor clients and get jobs they actually love. It\u2019s about developing a mindset that you\u2019re worthy of so much more and growing faith that God will help you get more business you deserve.

You are more than \u201cjust paying bills\u201d \u2014 you\u2019re a professional who can work with people who truly \u201cget\u201d you and love what you offer and will pay you for it!
