Well we agree that it's not my fault but we disagree about it being my concern.
What and how someone runs their business is none of my business.
* All the power to them if they make a billion dollars profit.
* Sucks to be them if they go bankrupt.
I'm not going to waste my time worrying about someone else's business success or failure

That's
EXACTLY what I ask myself before I do business with anyone.
I need to establish confidence and a working relationship with someone
BEFORE I trust
them enough to fork over a substantial sum of money.
So the
"loss leader" approach works for me.
Let me see what someone can do and how professional they are. If I like their work and
how they conduct business then I'm willing to try them out on a more expensive project.
But when someone I don't know is charging me a similar price that people I already do
business with...
Well, I'm going to go with people that I know and have an established relationship instead
of giving someone new a shot.
It's the low price on a small project that justifies me taking risk on an unknown individual.
Give me a deal and I'll give you a shot.... Don't give me a deal and I'll keep using my guys.
