Ever had a project drag on for months because your client kept delaying? You’re not alone, and it’s one of the most expensive lessons creative entrepreneurs learn the hard way.
In this solo episode, Lauren shares the one contract clause that completely changed the way she does business, the late fee/delay clause, and the powerful advice from her mentor, Sherile, that led her to include it.
She breaks down how client delays quietly drain your energy, income, and confidence, and why protecting your time is one of the most important forms of self-respect in both life and business.
This isn’t just a conversation about contracts... it’s about boundaries, energetic hygiene, and learning to lead your business like someone who knows their worth.
