I missed a great #FreelanceFriends today! Learned lots (attempting) to catch-up - including the fact that the BlueSky lag even raises it’s head when deep into a catch-up thread.
Have a great Thanksgiving Everyone!

A1. In my T&C, I require one month's notice, and the client's pay, whether they need me or not, at the end of the engagement. That helps with all the little last-minute things that they realize they need. #FreelanceFriends

Good point there: at the end, if it's done, you may need to remind the client to revoke your access to anything like shared folders, content management systems, whatever. For mutual protection.

Q2. Closing out projects, leaving shared project mgt apps, documenting where we are on future projects, and making sure I'm not exposed risk-wise for any NDA items. I don't promise to archive and I keep finished projects, not assets.

a1: A lot of my work is one-and-done, at least initially, so the end is built into the beginning of the contract. Hopefully, we part on good terms, per agreement, and look for ways to work together in the future. They get the quarterly post cards to keep my name in front of them!

“Let us give hope when there seems to be no hope. #DigiBlogChat“
Every week when I go to the refugee drop-in, one of the most powerful and helpful things we can do for people is to show up and to help them feel that they're not forgotten, that I see them and that I care about them. Let us give hope when there seems to be no hope. #DigiBlogChat

A3. Being healthy is what I feel most grateful for. Feeling good and being able to eat, breathe, and wake up after a good night's sleep. #DigiBlogChat

I jumped the gun on #DigiBlogChat Question 1, but I’ll repeat a phrase I claim (I think it’s my original):
Gratitude oils life’s trials, and sweetens life’s triumphs

My tip for freelancers today comes from the perspective of being an older person. Try not to hold grudges. If you have an issue with the customer, get it solved. Don't let things hang over your head.

With the off-boarding, are you parting ways with the client because of the end of a project, or because it's time to move on? At project's end, when I've created something they will maintain, I usually do a little handbook with maintenance steps.

Question: Small biz tools are on my mind as Roy and I work on Qs for next week's chat! So, I used to use Buffer (and loved it), but it's pretty spendy now. Do you have a social media scheduling app you love that's not too expensive for MULTIPLE channels and reliable? #FreelanceFriends

Good morning #FreelanceFriends!
This week I fail at photography. I had the perfect shot of a bear waiting for us to go by before crossing the highway, and inadvertently switched cameras and my phone registered a very poor picture of my thumb, not the BEAR!
Hope your week is better!
