I was dead wrong about milestone payments being unnecessary

For 3 years I only did lump sum billing at the end because I thought it was simpler. Then a $4,200 project went sideways in week 5 and I walked away with zero after 80 hours of work. Has anyone else had that moment where one bad contract flipped their whole payment strategy?

Yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way too. Paid my tuition in lost time.

Lump sum builds trust. Milestones just make clients think you're broke.
