EP 89: Manage Client Expectations

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Managing client expectations are KEY to your success as a freelancer.
You have to know exactly what a client is seeking, in order for you to deliver successfully, avoiding repeat revisions.
Often times, we will have clients that are unfamiliar with the terminology we use in our given professions, and when they cannot express that to us clearly, it can lead to you working for hours in the wrong direction, costing you money and possibly a return client.
Managing their expectations also means educating them on the process of getting them to their goals, without days and back and forth changes to said project(s).
This is your key to success...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No matter what the situation, do NOT let someone undervalue your worth...your time, your work!
Whatever you do, no matter if it takes you minutes or hours, you took time...often YEARS to learn how to do that, and there is nothing more valuable!
Time cannot be replaced...once it's gone, it's gone, and in this world, our time is worth money, so charge accordingly.

You cannot be Great, unless you put in the work just the same!
STAY ready, so you don't hafta GET ready!
