Working with friends and family.

Working with friends
This is what I have to say about working with family and friends, or as a local freelancer.

It's difficult for you to complete work and get paid. Because people work with ideas that they just got overnight, didn't think much about it, no deep planning, and they just get to you and ask you to start making their product.

The best thing to do is to be as organized as possible.
Get some set-down rules.
Don't just take on projects.

You need to break those projects into milestones and get paid for each milestone that you complete. If you break it this way, it will be easier for you to get your money while you work.

So for each milestone that you complete, you take money for it. And if money is not paid for that, then you don't complete the work or continue the project.

Right, This is an easy way that you can take on or apply in your life as a freelancer or in your journey with working with friends and family, and at the end of the day, there is no stress, you don't affect your relationship and you still get the job done.

Thank you for going through this, it's just something really small, but it will improve the way that you work.
