Yep, I fire them. First, I send them a gentle warning. If they persist in wanting to drive I get a little more forceful. After awhile, if the customer insists on being the driver, I tell them I can't do business any more and they need to find another provider. Most of them end up coming back with a different attitude and the ones that don't are happier somewhere else so everyone wins.

It depends on what kind of business you're in, but I like to see it as "driving instruction" ... You start driving, teach the client how to drive, and by the time the project's done, they're driving! Great analogy Ryan.
