I have to really check myself in the situation . It's so hard to finally say I deserve better then the way this person is treating me.

I have to say your channel is so informative and well-composed. In every episode, I have watched there is something vital I learn and take away from the tips you freely give out. Thank you

Great insights, Latasha. Happy I am working with dream clients for the last year. I used to have some unpleasant experience before, but it's a normal thing in our business. 🙂

This is good advice

[@BeauBlackbear]

This was great! What is your process with asana when you have a new client? Like how do you break down how you would handle someone’s social media account.

[@DigitalSachinShow]

It's simple: whenever we have a new client in our bucket, we need to learn from the client what they want & how they want. bcz it's a most important thing to learn about client & client's work. One we understand their need, not it's time to work and create everything around that like: strategy, content calendar , content sheet & etc. That's how i work as a social media marketer for my client. beyond these there are much more things to do also.

With ending a contract early with a freelancer do clients request money back?

[@thecarsmissin]

some do, but have this outlined in your contract in case
