When I meet a client, one thing matters most to me.
It's not the size of the business.
Not the industry.
Not the growth potential.
Not the fame of the founder.
And not his (or her) willingness to pay for my work.
The main thing is the maturity of his request on a scale from 1 to 10.
From 1 to 5 – it's a waste of time, nerves, and energy for both of us.
You can pick an unripe green fruit from the tree, but why bother?
A request from 6 to 8 must be kindled like a fire in a damp forest.
Real work only happens with a request from 9 to 10.
The client turned to me because he has nowhere else to go.
He's been wrestling with a stubborn problem for so long that he eventually merged with it.
The paradox is that feeling at the bottom, he is just a step away from the heavens.
We don't care about conventions because we're concerned with function, not form.
We are so in sync that the efficiency of our work approaches 100%.
In that moment, everything is at its peak: trust, value, and meaning.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
