Getting Rid of People

Seth Godin recently had a post titled "more, More, MORE." He talks about those clients that are never satisfied and always want more - and advises you to fire those customers. This in turn enables you to focus on those that deserve the attention.
This is true of everyday life too. When someone is asking too much or is never satisfied with what you are able to give, get rid of them. It leaves you time to focus on those that don't try to make your life more difficult. In the communities we are building, it is important to recognize this feature as well. When members become too demanding and do not contribute to the overall effort, it it time to let them go. Don't allow them to suck out all the energy and bring down the rest of the community.
