Summary

Dream client. Huge project. Zero team. Do you say yes and figure it out later—or build the team first and hope they stick around? Preston and Austin break down the classic chicken-and-egg trap every growing freelancer hits... and reveal a third option that could save your reputation, your sanity, and your shot at finally making the leap from solo to agency.
