#264: The 6 Ways To RUIN Your Freelance Services | The Freelance F*ckups Series
from 6 Figure Creative · host Brian Hood
On today's podcast episode, I wanted to have a candid chat about something critical to your success as a freelancer... It's a topic that's often glossed over, but it's the backbone of your entire business: Fulfilling the services you're paid for as a freelancer. Have you ever wondered why some clients never return, or why they don't refer your services to others? Maybe you're finding that more and more of your clients and projects are becoming a pain in the 🍑? If so, it might be time to take a good, hard look at your fulfillment processes. In this episode, I dive deep into the six common mistakes that can completely derail your fulfillment experience as a freelancer. Spoiler alert: if you're committing any of these, especially the first one, you might be setting yourself up for a nauseating ride. Here's why... As a freelancer, you are literally getting paid to deliver on your promises. When you mess up fulfillment, you're inadvertently sabotaging your own business. This can lead to fewer referrals, less repeat business, and the potential for some seriously stressful interactions with clients. The good news is that this episode isn't just about identifying the problems; it's about finding solutions and paving the way for smoother, more satisfying client relationships and more rewarding freelance projects. I can't wait for you to join me in this discussion. We'll go through these six pitfalls, figure out where you might be going wrong, and most importantly, talk about how to right those wrongs. In this episode you’ll discover: Reframing from "to do" to "don't do" Why offering more services is the opposite of what you need to do The pain caused by avoiding SOPs Focusing on an outcome rather than a service Keeping communications clean Setting healthy boundaries Missing the mark with your clients For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/264
