After four years, I've learned to over-commit in order to have enough paying work in the funnel. I have yet to have more work than I can handle. Almost every project that I have had has been delayed, canceled or decreased in size/scope by the client, leaving me more than enough time to do the work. I’ve never had that problem.

I think my initial challenges stemmed from taking on 60-80 hours of work a week and then often saying yes to more.
