"I had an hour long, and slightly heated, conversation with my client last night, we both aired our issues, and cleared a few things. I should have spoken up sooner, instead of just being cranky."
Lisa,
Its pretty clear that you don't feel good about allowing yourself to get cranky and this is something you need to work on. Getting cranky seldom has any payoff, instead it simply allows the other side to feel that their position is justified. On the other hand, if you calmly take a stand and express yourself well, your self-esteem rises as does your esteem in the eyes of others.
[Lisa Koza]
"Tell me though, what happens when you do decide midstream to not finish the product. She had already paid me my 50% upfront."
What happens is that you are in the driver's seat. You have them over a barrel and they have to figure out a solution. It can range from a quick apology to a protracted trip to court, but you're putting the resposibility to figure things out squarely in their hands.
Keep in mind, if you're in the wrong this will end up biting you big time. So, if you have even an inkling that its your ego talking and not your brain, you'd best start figuring out a plan to get things back on track before you wind up paying for that commercial yourself.
