Staying safe on the road as a working artisan

If you do any on-site work, your safety matters as much as your portfolio. Five simple rules: 1. Share your live location with a trusted contact before every visit. 2. Confirm the client's identity via a second channel before arriving. 3. Decline pressure to 'come right now' — good clients will wait for a confirmed time. 4. Meet first-time clients in a public place when the work allows it. 5. If something feels off, leave. Your instincts are data.
