Stop being a commodity — become a problem solver

[encrypted]

Most freelancers jump straight into “how to do the work” when a client asks for something. But the ones who become indispensable? They start by asking better questions:

What are you trying to achieve?

What have you already tried?

How will you know if this is successful?

What happens if you don’t do this?

This turns you from a vendor into a strategic partner, earning trust and unlocking premium rates.

Schedule a 30-minute discovery call before accepting any project. Listen more than you talk, dig into goals, and uncover the real problem — not just the symptom the client presents.
