I’m a freelancer.
Here are three things I want most from my clients:

  • Money

If I was good at making money, I wouldn't have to sell my time for it. Just pay me what we agreed, and do it on time.

  • Impact

Trust my expertise and use my solutions; it’s what you’re paying me for. If I work with you for six months on a project that doesn’t see the light of day, or that will look nothing like what I prescribed when it does, that’s six months forever erased from my career.

  • Friends

Be my friend. Treat me well, set me up for success, help me make new friends, and tell everybody how amazing I am. It’s what friends do.
