Description

As freelancers, we want to help our clients succeed - but where's the line between great service and doing too much?


In this week's episode of The Freelancer's Tea Break, I'm chatting about:
☕ Setting healthy boundaries (and sticking to them!)
📋 Onboarding with clear expectations
🔁 Regular check-ins to keep things on track
You can't fix your client's whole business — and you shouldn't have to!
Listen while you make a cuppa 👉
