What happens if you refuse to sign a non-compete agreement?

[Btaliat]

It is not mandatory on the freelancers to sign the agreement. In fact, most freelancers don't like signing it. There is no implications on this other than you may lose the clients or the clients give you another condition that you need to meet up with. However, you need to be careful before signing any documents in freelancing. Not all clients will come with the good intentions you may be looking for. What do you think about this?
