I've been freelancing for a while, and because of an experience or two, I do absolutely no piecemeal jobs or "favor" jobs. Its a trap that's wise to avoid.

It's hard but you might have to "fire" old clients in order to make room for new ones, or launch that fantastic new service you've been wanting to offer.
