The Best Way to Handle Scope Creep

from Freelance to Founder · host Millo

Andre is getting pulled in every direction by his clients — new requests keep piling on top of the original project, and he doesn't know how to push back without risking the relationship. Preston and Austin Church, founder of the Freelance Cake Community, dig into exactly how to handle scope creep with confidence: from crafting airtight contracts and expectations docs, to the subtle language shifts that remind clients you're a business partner — not an employee on the payroll. Plus, when to just say yes anyway.
