She kept adding tasks every week without mentioning it and I just kept doing them because I didn't know how to bring it up 😅 finally got to a point where I couldn't keep absorbing it so I messaged her kept it really simple, just said the work had grown beyond what we originally agreed and asked if we could talk about adjusting the scope. she was actually completely fine about it and apologised for not realising. I was so sure it was going to go badly and it just... didn't. I know it won't always go that way but does the nervousness ever actually go away or does everyone just get better at pushing through it anyway?

I’ve been learning tools and practicing stuff but when it comes to outreach I freeze. Like what do you even say without sounding awkward??

Had three of them this month and didn't land a single one 😞 like I'm spending all this time explaining everything I do, answering every question, basically giving a free consultation and then they just disappear. I don't even know if I'm pitching wrong or if the people I'm talking to were never serious to begin with. should discovery calls even be free? how long should they actually be? I feel like I've been doing this completely wrong and nobody told me 😅 would love to know how you guys structure yours because mine is clearly not working

Pick ONE workflow and get really good at it. For example:Client inbox → summarize → draft replies → schedule That alone can make you valuable. Most clients don’t care what tool you use, they care that things get done efficiently. Master simple > chase shiny tools.

She said yes immediately and honestly I could have cried 😅 I'd been absorbing the extra work for weeks because I kept telling myself it wasn't worth the awkwardness of bringing it up. finally sat down and wrote a clear breakdown of what the original scope was, what it had grown into, and what I was proposing going forward kept it professional, no apologies, just facts and a solution. she replied in 20 minutes saying it made complete sense. I don't know why I waited so long to just ask. if you're in a similar situation and putting it off the conversation is almost never as hard as you've built it up to be in your head
