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.
