Guides
The stuff no one teaches freelancers about getting paid
Long-form guides on the money side of running an agency — payment terms, scope creep, retainers, cash flow. Written from over 20 years of getting it wrong before I got it right.
There’s a thousand guides out there on how to win clients and do the work. Almost none on how to actually get paid for it on time, without torching the relationship. So I’m writing them. Each one is the long version of advice I’ve given on a call or in a Reddit thread a hundred times. No filler, no “in conclusion.”
New guides land here as I write them. Start with whatever’s hurting most right now. In the meantime, the resource library has the deep-dive pillars.
