Freelancers need to set clear rules and expectations for their clients and business. This includes setting payment terms, rates, and policies; defining the scope and expectations of projects; dealing with conflicts; and executing on business goals. Freelancers should also maintain work-life balance and boundaries when working from home. Setting guidelines protects both the freelancer and client from misunderstandings.
Don't let pride stand in the way of a successful business. The fact is, while yes, pride is important to get the ball rolling, it is incredibly important, vital even, that you know when/how to ask others for advice.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. You have to have to set rules, guidelines, terms, and
expectations to protect you and your clients!
4. The BIGGEST areas that I’ve observed that get abused or neglected over and
over again include the following:
• Setting Your Business Terms
• Achieving the Client’s Expectations
• Getting Clients to Meet YOUR Expectations
• Avoiding Scope Creep
• Dealing with Client Conflict
• Executing on Your Business Hopes and Dreams
• Living in a Lifestyle Business
6. It’s YOUR business. You can do what you want. Don’t
let other people dictate your terms for you!
7. You tripled your quote! Seriously, can you DO that?
[A beautiful story about not losing money]
8. The absolute minimum business terms you need to consider and implement:
• Payment Terms ... Pay Up Sucker!
• Your Rate and Fee Structure
• Refund or NO Refund Policy
• Your Methodology for Doing the Work (more in Client Expectations)
• Dead Project or Kill Clause ... No, Don’t Kill Your Clients!
• Terms of Service
• Office Hours and Availability
• Using Client Work for Self-Promotion
• Time Limitation on Quotes or Proposals
• Delivery of Assets, Files, or Keys to the Magical Kingdom
10. If a client hires you, they have expectations that the
work will get done, on time, and on budget. They
might even expect more.
11. It is absolutely critical to find out what your client
expects from you and then provide a review of those
expectations in writing.
12. The standard list of what clients will expect and what you should define:
• What are the deliverables are for the project? List ALL of it out.
• When will the project be started and when it will be completed?
• What will be your primary method of communication?
• Can we call you every day to see how things are going?
• How will the process work? What should I expect next?
• Can we call you every day to see how things are going?
• What if we don’t hear from you within 24 hours?
15. Just because you are working for a client doesn’t
mean you can’t have expectations for them.
16. You have to let them know THEY have responsibilities
and make sure they understand it.
17. A standard list of expectations you should require from your clients:
• That they review ALL of the information that you provide them with.
• That they will respond to your communication efforts in a timely manner.
• That they will provide any items that you request on the timeline set.
• That they will pay you according to your terms and timelines.
And finally, you have to let people know that a lack of planning on their behalf,
doesn’t constitute an emergency on yours! You don’t have to rush because
they dropped the ball.
20. There will be times that clients will want to add more
stuff to the project or make changes. If you’ve done
your homework, you can avoid this or at least be paid
for your time to make the changes.
21. A few great pieces of advice for avoiding scope creep on projects:
• Cover all the details and deliverables in your proposal.
• Communicate with clients when their requests are outside the scope.
• Charge for anything that wasn’t included with your bid.
To be honest, it’s not the client’s fault that scope creep happens and projects get
abused -- it’s YOUR responsibility to educate the client and keep them in control.
You set the rules and the guidelines. This even means that sometimes you have
to say “no” or walk away.
23. Client conflict can be avoided if you’ve set all of your
terms and the expectations before the project.
But sometimes things still go wrong ...
24. It is unfortunate when conflict happens, but many times you can have a positive
resolution if you practice these tips.
• Never take any conflict personally. Remember that it’s usually about business.
• Don’t be quick to respond or defend. Take time to listen and reflect first.
• Leave emotions out of it.
• Ask the client what their expectations are for clarification.
• Determine if there can be a happy resolution or outcome.
• Make your decision and stick with it.
I’ve turned some really bad situations around by calmly talking with the clients
and listening to their pain. Sometimes they realized it was that they were the
problem and not me.
28. Nobody cares as much about your business as you do.
And if you don’t care enough to execute on your
hopes and dreams, it ain’t gonna happen!
29. I’ve coached freelancers for a long time. I’ve heard hundreds of the same stories.
If you really DESIRE to succeed, you have to WORK it!
• Make a three month plan and work it. Rinse and repeat.
• Focus on the important or critical tasks only. Stop screwing around!
• Get out and make connections. It doesn’t happen magically.
• Forget about partnerships or collaborations. It’s all up to you.
• Listen to the experiences of a few veterans and take it to heart.
• Stop spending money on membership sites and hire a professional coach.
• Quit the talk and walk the walk ... every single day.
Only the people who are FULLY COMMITTED to their business will be the ones
who achieve their hopes and dreams.
31. It’s not easy working for yourself or working from
home. Sometimes it really sucks!
32. It’s important to set some boundaries when working from home.
• Set up an area or office exclusively for your work. Not in the bedroom!
• Let family and friends know when it’s time to work .
• Work a schedule that works for you, but be disciplined.
• Leave work when work is done
33. Some VERY VALUABLE advice from a freelancing veteran of 20+ years.
• Don’t neglect your health. Exercise daily!
• Don’t sit at the computer all day. Take frequent breaks.
• Don’t work all the time. You need to get away and recharge.
• Don’t put your business first over family or friends. Ever.
• Don’t trust in technology to work all the time.
• Don’t turn off the well if it’s giving you plenty of water.
• Don’t stop branding yourself or marketing even when times are good.
