As always, another wonderful article from the MenwithPens. This is one of my greatest business flaws. Not so long ago my clients seemed really adept at turning the tables on me. Thus my inner doubt would push me to just go ahead and do it for them.

What I found, it really hurt my bottom line. Untold hours of work not paid for by the client. I now do “NOTHING” unless it is in writing. If it isn’t in the proposal, I simply tell them it will cost on an hourly basis for anything outside the original scope of work.

It has been a very hard lesson to learn, but I am better for it. And though they don’t know it, so are my clients.
