Rashid wants to land clients outside his home country, but the unknowns are holding him back — different governments, tricky payment terms, and contracts that feel impossible to enforce across borders. Preston and Austin Church dig into exactly how to protect yourself when working with international clients, and their answer might surprise you: where a client lives matters far less than most freelancers think. The real work is learning to read the room early, set airtight expectations before a project begins, and build habits that filter out bad-actor clients no matter what country they're in.
