How I handle too many client change requests

I got stuck in a loop with a client who always wanted one more adjustment. It meant late nights and missed deadlines. My fix was to add a set number of free revisions to my initial quote. Once they use those up, any more costs extra, and it keeps everyone honest.

Adding a set number of free revisions to your quote, like you mentioned, made me rethink my approach. I always tried to please everyone by making endless changes, but it just burned me out. Now I see that setting clear limits from the start actually improves the working relationship.

Agree with you here. I used to do endless changes and it just killed my energy. Setting a cap on revisions makes clients think before asking for tweaks. It actually leads to better feedback from the start. I mean, boundaries save everyone time and stress.
