The very best advice I've ever had as a freelancer is a very simple one:Underpromise, and overdeliver.

An editor of mine gave me this advice a few years into freelancing, and it really stuck with me. Not least because I see a lot of freelancers get into pickles because they've done the opposite - overpromise and underdeliver.

The trouble is that if you overpromise, you're on a road to burnout, and you've left yourself with no wiggle room to wow your client.

But if you under promise and over deliver (especially with deadlines!) you're giving yourself room to go above and beyond their expectations.

In this week's podcast, I dive into this topic a little more!
