The Freelance Fortress

You love freelancing. The freedom. The flexibility. The ability to work in your pyjamas. But you also lie awake at night worrying about one thing: what happens when a client doesn’t pay? The Freelance Fortress is the survival guide every self-employed person needs but no one talks about. Commercial lawyer turned freelancer David Chen has seen brilliant designers, writers, and developers destroyed by bad contracts, late payments, and clients who disappear without a trace. This book provides templates, scripts, and strategies to protect yourself: how to write a contract that holds up in court (even if you can’t afford a lawyer), how to spot a nightmare client before you sign, how to chase unpaid invoices without burning bridges, and how to build a financial buffer so one bad month doesn’t end your career. Freelancing is a dream. But dreams need foundations. Build yours.
