Hello, I'm interested in pursuing Freelancing career, but I don't have a Freelance experience can I be honest and put that on my bio? That I don't have freelance experience and that Im willing to learn?
That ties back to the project roadmap. When you make a list of the exact steps you're going to take in order to execute on a project... yes, that list is for you, but it also is the explicit scope of the project. It's what you're going to do. I would put a high-level version of it in my contracts. Not every little step, but the big macro-steps. Thing is... if you miss or forget something, you can always just add it without charging them and you come off as the good guy. But, if you don't include scope in a contract, then it gets a bit tricky to enforce if you didn't specify it initially.
You're one of the best mentors on youtube for aspiring freelancers! Appreciate you!
Hey thanks. I do my best. :)
You nailed a couple of things that are holding me back there.
Awesome. Hopefully, this helps you get past them. This is honestly one of the biggest blocks I see with freelancers, so you're def not alone.
Tanks a lot john, I really needed this...
No problem. Was a game-changer for me and many of my students.

Do you have any advice for writing contracts that clearly layout scope and add new charges for changes outside
