What's a SOW and Why does every new business deal need one?
How do you avoid scope creep and create better boundaries around your business and the services you provide?
Simple: create a Scope of Work (SOW) and include it with your contract.
Raise your hand if you ever felt deceived and victimized by an unclear scope of work situation? Well, you are NOT alone.
Examples are: a client asking for extra content or hours outside of their package agreement or a client messging you on Whatsapp and asking things like "can you post this really quick"?! Simply any request made that oversteps your service deliverables.
What do you need in a SOW? Project scope:
Client Deliverables
Schedule
Deadlines
Available Hours
Communication flow
Payments
Edits & Revisions
In a nutshell, leaving absolutely no room for misinterpretation between you and your client.
Are you setting boundaries?
In business, boundaries aren’t just about protecting your time—they’re about preserving your energy, expertise, and integrity.
A clear, well-structured Scope of Work (SOW) is your best ally in setting those boundaries and maintaining a strong client relationship. When everyone knows exactly what to expect, trust grows, projects run smoothly, and you’re free to focus on delivering your best work. So, take charge, set those boundaries, and watch your business thrive.
