One common problem with most young entrepreneurs today is that they are becoming too greedy for clients. Trying to get more clients or customers is not a bad thing, but it becomes an issue when you keep on bringing more to yourself when you have not be able to finish the task given to you by your previous clients. Over here in my country, tailors are well known for this. Hence they are regarded as masters of disappointment. They have tons of cloths that needs sewing but they still collect new ones and assure you of getting yours in the next few days.

The customers are also wise, They will know your actions as a greedy business owner. They will know that by forcing them to buy in bulk or wholesale all the time could save them. They all understand the motives of the owner.

Most definitely, if someone disappoints me, I don't think I would want to come back to that person again. There was a case some time back of a business owner who was arrested simply because he disappointed the wrong client.
In my city this practice is very common as tailors are master in it. They took too many orders and give customers time to collect their cloth. When a person reach there shop on particular time they say that you need to come after one week and then after one week so when they not finished the work on time people suffer a lot.
I couldn't agree more. Some people are greedy. They have a lot of clients, yet they can't do the tasks properly. It is sometimes preferable to have one or two clients who can give you a reasonable salary because having too many can compromise the quality of your work.
As a freelancer providing translation service and business consulting, of course I would like to get as many clients as possible. However, I also understand that I cannot work 24 hours a day. When my work schedule is full, and I think that I cannot meet the completion deadline requested by the client, I may turn him/her down. My top priority is to maintain the quality of my work.

This is actually a good policy, cause most time when we refuse this offers, the customer might not be very eager to come back next time. Hiring a freelancer will help you meetup with target.
Instead of building capacity first that can handle more clients, they want more clients. They would always come down to their level when they can't meet up.
