I think there's another in rejecting early is don't go for cheap client's even your broke as hell. It saves you the trouble in dealing with unrealistic demands from them.

Ironically, the clients with the smallest budgets end up being the highest maintenance. Clients with a solid budget are often a dream to work with. This doesn't just go for freelancers, agencies have to deal with this all the time.

So, to your point exactly, it's better to wait it out for a client with a solid budget, then take whatever's currently going.

Yeah, it took 2 clients of those cheap clients for me to realise that the lemon was not worth the squeeze to deal with them even I'm broke as hell.
