This is a small thing, but it goes a long way. Clients love it when you finish work before they expected it.
It sets you up as more than reliable, more than responsible, and more than worth what they’re paying you…but trying to pull it off can leave you more than stressed out.
That’s why you give yourself padding.
When you’re setting expectations for when something’s going to be completed, add in a few days for things going wrong and then a little extra to wrap things up ahead of time.
Make it a habit and you’ll be on your way to building those strong, career-sustaining relationships.
