It shows some trust from both parties and ensures both have equal motivation to get the job finished. Early on if I wasn't busy I would often start a project before money had been discussed. Nothing too exciting, I'd just scratch out some ideas out for an hour or two to get a feel for it. Often enough though as soon as a deposit was mentioned the client would vanish into the night. I've given this up as of late, wasted hours quickly add up. Omar,

One must also know when it is time to step it up, especially when it concerns collecting final payment. If you're not firm enough you will not get payed, and if you're too firm you may scare away clients. It's a tricky barometer?
