About this episode
The episode discusses the fear of sending invoices and how to overcome self-doubt in freelancing.
Laura completed the work, sent the proposal, and then froze. The invoice is sitting there — unsent — because she's convinced this is the moment she loses a client she can't afford to lose. Clay and Preston dig into the freelancer's oldest enemy: the story you tell yourself before anything has actually gone wrong. They walk through exactly why she should send that invoice, how to respond if the client pushes back, and how to break the habit of catastrophizing before you've even given reality a chance.
