Handling Your First Client Delivery
Someone's paid. Now the real anxiety kicks in. This week I'm breaking down why first delivery goes wrong, and the simple framework for getting through it without freezing up or running yourself into the ground.
The problem with first client delivery is almost never the work itself. It's the expectations around it, and what your brain does when the pressure is real and there's actual money on the line.
In this video you'll learn:
✓The two ways first delivery goes wrong: the freeze and the over-delivery spiral
✓Why both come from the same root - and how to fix both
✓The three things to confirm with your client before work begins
✓How to send work confidently without defensive essays and approval-seeking
✓The over-delivery test - one simple check before you add anything to a delivery
✓How to handle scope creep without it getting weird
✓What a clean, well-managed delivery actually looks like end to end

ABOUT LEIGH:
After 26 years as a small business owner, being a solo parent, living with a neuro spicy brain + a chronic pain condition that has put me in a wheelchair, I had a breakdown, that's when I found my true clarity, that's when BasicAF in it's current form was born.
