Well said!!
It's the clients that can foresee this that will keep us in business.
I guess it comes down to a client by client evaluation. Those with plenty of money usually don't have alot of time and vice versa. So probably what I've been experiencing is the "bluff". I'll be putting my foot down much sooner and be requesting proof of I-deals so that I can call their bluff and work with them for reasonable margin.
My stand will be (and for the most part has been) most of what has been mentioned. Service, service, service, and work with reasonable clients for a reasonable margin.
