Who It's For
Good fit if
- You're good at the work but unsure about the business side
- You don't know if your hourly rate is right
- You've chased an unpaid invoice before
Not for you if
- You're looking for tax advice — no PDF can replace that
- You're employed and want to stay that way

1. Hourly rates where the value isn't hourly
2. No scope in writing
3. No deposit
4. Not following up on invoices
5. Never raising your rates
