Done Chasing Clients: A Client Onboarding System for Freelancers Who'd Rather Be Working

You didn't become a freelancer to spend half your week chasing logo files, overdue invoices, and clients who forgot what you agreed to build. But without a real onboarding process, that's exactly what happens, project after project, client after client, the same avoidable chaos dressed up as "just how freelancing goes." It isn't. Done Chasing Clients lays out a complete, tool-agnostic system for the two weeks that actually determine how a freelance project goes: the window between a client saying yes and the work truly getting underway. You'll learn how to screen out bad-fit clients before you're contractually stuck with them, write a contract and scope document specific enough to stop scope creep before it starts, collect everything you need in one organized ask instead of a dozen scattered emails, structure payments so you're never the one waiting and hoping, and run a kickoff call that sets the tone for the entire relationship. This isn't another pile of generic templates borrowed from corporate HR. It's a practical, repeatable framework built for the freelancer who is simultaneously the salesperson, the delivery team, and the accountant, with scripts, checklists, and a full onboarding sequence you can start using with your very next client. Stop reinventing your process every time. Build it once, and let it run itself.
