Freelancers always find saying NO to clients complicated. They are so used to always thinking about what's best for the client that it becomes difficult to say no because of the fear of offending, upsetting, or losing the work. But it's a necessary part of the job, so you need to learn how to do it well with time!

As Freelancers, we are bound to work with all types of clients; some will be a pleasure to work with, some will be like your best friend, and some will make you feel like you are working in hell. Still, we would struggle to fire these bad clients because of overthinking, fear of losing work, and other irrelevant things. If it's not working out, QUIT! Move On!

As a freelancer, you have no boss, no mentor, and you make all your own decisions about what work gets done, and when it gets done. This can be great for some people, but it's hard on others who need structure in their lives.
