Some do it to get revenge on a perceived enemy, some to steal money, some to injure a corporation or institution they disagree with ideologically, and some – perhaps most of them – do it just to show the world that they can.

Your clients want you to be profitable. Desperately, in fact. But they will never say “Take me for all I’m worth.” or “Rip me off.” or “How can I pay your more money?” Nope, you will never hear those words (albeit I did experience that last one, once).
