I struggle with this myself.
I often find myself wasting time spending times even in multiple meetings only for the project to never end up coming to fruition...
Glad someone has this figured out lol
I think it just comes with experience. My triggers are clients that are requesting MAGIC from me for a coffee pay per hour. I had one that missed our meeting and didnt think it was a big deal because Im already at home and freelance in my spare time. I explained thats not the case and he apologized. But thats a common missconseption, just because we work from home doesnt mean we are or should be always available.

Potential clients tend to weed themselves out when they learn my fees.
