4 red flags to look out for when on boarding a new

4 red flags to look out for when on boarding a new client as a Digital Business Manager or freelancer!👇

We’ve all heard our fair share of difficult client stories, but how do we avoid them?

👉This is why I highly recommend a trial month (or 2) or project so you don’t end up blindly walking into the lion’s den.

During that trial period, you’ll want to look out for these bad client telltale signs…

🚩They expect you to be available at a drop of a hat (aka whenever they need you)
🚩They don’t see your value (and they are sure tell you)
🚩They micro-manage you like a stage mom on toddlers and tiaras
🚩They don’t pay your invoice on time
🚩They treat you like an employee and not a freelancer

Spotting these red flags comes with time and practice.

🖤And don’t be hard on yourself if you come across these bad client experiences. As much as we’d like to avoid them, these firsthand encounters will only make you better at sniffing them out in the future.

But the one thing you can do to avoid as many of these difficult clients as possible is to trust your gut.

🏃‍♀️Be careful not to jump the gun, always have a trial period, and don’t be afraid to run for the hills if you spot one or more of these red flags.

What are some of your most telling bad client red flags?👇

When you’re a busy bee 🐝 of a freelancer but

When you’re a busy bee 🐝 of a freelancer but your friends and family still think you don’t have a “real job”. Can you relate?😂

Jokes aside, freelancing is a veeery real job😅

What I think your friends and family mean is a “normal” or “traditional” job.

I was raised to believe that the “right path” is the same one most people took. And it goes a little like this…

💯Get good grades
🎓Go to a great college
💼Land a prestigious internship
🪜Start climbing the corporate ladder

But I quickly realized that waking up to my 7:30AM alarm 5 days a week left me feeling sick and filled with existential dread.

✨And that is why I took the big, scary plunge and dipped my big toe into the pool of online freelancing.

Fast forward a few years and I am doing the damn thing!🙌

And even though freelancing isn’t the “norm,” it’s the reason why I’ve won the epic battle between passion and security as I came out the other end with a job that I love (and a pocket full o’cash 🤫).

Yes, freelancing isn’t the traditional route, but it’s one that is absolutely worth the journey.

👇Would you rather freelance or have a traditional job?

Didn’t want to work a 9-5 but ended up working 2

Didn’t want to work a 9-5 but ended up working 25/8 as a freelancer? Read this!👇

Freelancing can make you feel like you’re working longer hours than at a traditional 9-5 job. But this can be solved by a set of strong boundaries.

While you might guilt trip yourself into spending every possible minute doing something productive, setting boundaries with yourself will help you….

🔥Avoid burnout
🧠Produce your best and most focused work
😌Set healthy boundaries with your clients and their expectations

Creating your own schedule and setting your own work-life limits is something that comes with the freelancing territory.

But this extra step is worth it as freelancing allows you to choose…

👩🏻‍💻Who you work with
🙌The projects you have a hand in
📈Your career’s trajectory
🏝Vacation days without asking for permission

And while there may be days where you’ll be working more than the standard, you’ll also have the choice to take a mental health day in the middle of the week.

👉Would you rather be responsible for setting your own work-life boundaries and freelance, or would you prefer the traditional M-F, 9-5?
