I figure out it this trend has to do with absolute inability to plan things ahead on the clients side and desperate desire to please on the supply side. In any case, a nice piece of advise. Enjoyed reading it. Actually, Lithuanian clients ask for things “to be done yesterday” on a routine basis.

I learned the hard way with one client who gave me 2 years of fairly lucrative business but every minute was a nightmare. In the end my sanity was more important to me than the money.

I think its important to be able to explain things to clients in a straight forward jargon free way, which is exactly what the ice cream analogy (and the other analogies) allow you to do.
