This is great advice. I've mostly been a W-2 employee, but have done some freelance work over the years.

I assume that at this point, Jon, that you can steer clear of the micromanagers. But I am curious how you phrase "divorcing" a client who turns into a micromanager after you've started an engagement with them.

I imagine others early in freelance careers would appreciate tips on wording, if you don't mind sharing.
