AHEAD

Working remotely sometimes can be challenging. Especially when there's no central means of knowing what each party is working on per time. Sometimes, this makes others assume others are less busy and, therefore, attempt to push more work to them If you are less busy, never miss an opportunity to work together as a team. When the team wins, everyone wins. But for the times when your hands are full? Learn to say NO. These are 7 professional ways to say NO so you can meet your own timelines and maintain healthy boundaries at work. Which of them will you use this week? Tell me in the comments.

As a freelancer, protecting yourself and your work is crucial. Let's dive into how to do this proactively. Before anything, create a contract and make sure both parties sign it, BEFORE any work begins. What should the contract contain? 1. Clear scope: Define what you're doing (and not doing). 2. Payment details: Specify how much and when you'll get paid. Make it clear. Total amount, payment schedule, and payment method. 3. Set boundaries.: Put policies for revisions and cancellations 4. Outline exactly what you'll deliver. 5. Define the level of detail. 6. Set a realistic completion date: Do not be hurried into a deadline you can not meet. But why do contracts matter? You get paid what you're worth. Clients can't change plans suddenly, with a contract, you are protected, and everyone knows what to expect. Your work stays protected. This is a very stressful conversation, and I understand why. So why don't you get proper training on how to charge properly & succeed as a freelancer?
