I'd recommend learning by doing. Working with clients is not different than working with e.g. your boss except that both of you are equal on deontic and epistemic authority. You'll get better at working with clients through experience - essentially you'll build wisdom. For sure, you'll fuck up a lot of relationships before things start to go well. That's normal. You'll also have to think of an economic position and where you want to stand in the relationship to your clients. Are you thirsty for work? Can you communicate rationally under high pressure? Are you being exploited? How much heart do you put into your client's work? I've written an article about the relationship I once had with my clients. But since then it probably became outdated once again. It changes constantly, but maybe it's interesting for you: https://timdaub.github.io/2021/01/16/web-principles/ https://timdaub.github.io/2021/01/16/web-principles/
