Back when I consulted, I missed a ton of deadlines. A lot of them were my fault, and a lot of them were from the client not knowing what he actually wanted, or wanting the changes and handholding StuartD posted above.
Also, from experience most people do not pay you enough to be their client exclusively. Overlapping jobs and clients is a survival must. It's not like there's tons of work out there either, sometimes you'll be offered 3-4 jobs at once after a 2-3 week dry period, so you take all those jobs hoping that you can juggle them properly and that after they're all done you'll have enough to take you through the next slump.
Holy fuck I'm glad I don't consult anymore.
