www.teenton.com I've launched a platform online, l am not going to mention the name as l do not want to break any community rules for posting it. All l could say it can be found in my bio which is absolutely fine to mention it there as it follows skool guidance. If anyone is interest to try it, to give me a feedback, or to report bugs that you might find, l will really appreciate it. It is something that l believe is most safest platform you ever seen, since no sensitive information is need it or collected. If someone is asking itself, it's made by me (Blacky). Now, tell me what you think about the platform?

You have secured the work. The deposit is paid. You are ready to execute. Now comes the most dangerous phase of the engagement: The Schedule Squeeze. Here is the classic scenario: The client insists on a deadline of the 30th. You agree. You submit the first draft on the 10th. The client, busy with their own internal chaos, takes two weeks to send feedback. They finally reply on the 24th, but they still expect the final delivery on the 30th. Suddenly, their procrastination becomes your emergency. You end up working evenings and weekends to meet a deadline that they jeopardised. This happens because you agreed to a Calendar Deadline. To survive, you must switch to Relative Timelines. Here is the brutal truth: A project timeline is a relay race. If the client holds the baton for three weeks, they cannot expect you to run your leg of the race in three hours. Here are the tactics to ensure the client knows exactly when the clock is ticking for you, and when it is ticking for them. 1. Kill the "Fixed Date" Promise Never promise a deliverable on a specific calendar date (e.g., "Final website by 15 May") unless you control 100% of the variables. Since you need client approval at various stages, you do not control the variables. Instead, frame your deadlines around Lead Time. Bad: "I will deliver the draft on Friday." Good: "I will deliver the draft 3 working days after I receive the signed-off brief." This subtle shift changes the psychology completely. If they take a week to sign off the brief, the deadline automatically slides by a week. You don't even need to ask for an extension; the logic is built into the agreement. 2. The "Pause Button" Clause Your contract and your "Rules of Engagement" must contain a clause regarding feedback delays. It should state clearly: "Timeline estimates rely on feedback being provided within 48 hours. Delays in feedback will result in a day-for-day extension of the deadline." But you must go one step further. You must protect your queue.

May this year bring you good health, happiness, and success in everything you do. New beginnings, new opportunities, and many reasons to smile. Cheers to a great year ahead!

I’d love to get your opinion on something I recently discovered about myself. English isn’t my native language, but I live in a country where I use English daily and communicate easily. I noticed that I’m very active in communities and good at keeping conversations going. Do you think it makes sense to offer this as a service—helping new or quiet communities stay active and engaged? Should this be something I offer for free at first, or is it reasonable to charge for it? Any tips or experiences would be really appreciated.😇
