Sent my first 'scope change' email to a client this week asking to adjust the hours.

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
