Ask How do you bounce back and keep delivering when an unexpected problem derails a project mid-way?

[Brendan]

Every freelancer hits a point where something goes wrong in the middle of a project and suddenly the plan no longer works. A tool fails, a key piece of information turns out to be wrong, or something outside your control changes the direction entirely. How you respond in that moment matters more than how the problem started. Clients mostly remember whether you stayed professional and kept moving, not that the problem happened at all. What do you do to get yourself back on track when a project hits an unexpected wall?
