But here's the thing: the disaster she's imagining might only exist in her head. In this episode, Clay and Preston tackle the all-too-common problem of freelancers building up worst-case scenarios before anything bad actually happens. They break down why you should send that invoice, how to handle pushback if it comes, and why the story you're telling yourself is probably far worse than reality. If you've ever hesitated to bill a client for work you've done, this episode will give you the confidence to stop panicking and start acting.
