It's crucial to communicate boundaries with your clients and set clear expectations from the beginning.

Janine Kelbach
Today I’m going to dive into a real-life scenario that was shared by a fellow freelancer over on LinkedIn. It’s a situation that I thought was really important because many of us can relate to it, and it’s all about setting boundaries and protecting yourself as a freelancer.
 
If you’re in a situation where you faced clients with unreasonable demands, then this episode is for you. I’ll provide important lessons for freelancers, particularly writers, on how to handle such situations. Discover the dos and don’ts in freelancing to help you avoid these pitfalls and succeed in this path.
