Ask How do you manage client expectations when deadlines are unrealistic or scope starts creeping?

[Brendan]

Clients often want their work delivered faster than humanly possible, or they slowly add more tasks without offering to pay more money. This habit of adding more work is what we call scope creep, and it can easily stress a freelancer. I think it is very important to discuss these issues before they become big problems. How do you talk to your clients when their time limits are impossible or when they start asking for extra free work?
