It may sound counterproductive, but being able to say NO to big clients with big bags of money may actually be the key to your growth. This was a part of the situation that https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariis/ (Anders Riis) and his startup https://www.linkedin.com/company/swiipe/ (Swiipe Payments) found themself in when they had lots and lots of clients that were more than willing to pay, but it didn't help Anders and his team at Swiipe, it did the opposite, it stagnated them. Listen to how Anders managed to get out of this situation and grow Swiipe even bigger and better, making the whole online buying experience hassle-free for both the seller and the customer, and how he went from being a Co-Owner of one of the biggest electronics stores in Denmark, to a student.
