I hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I've checked in, but I've been grinding away on my channel and wanted to share some updates with you. I finally found a client who's gonna pay me 100 dollars -

So, recently, it all started with me starting my new channel and making a new video
and that video alone cost me 2 months cause of lack of motivation and procrastinations and other things that came to my way but yeah i finished editing my intro for 40 seconds and i decided to get feed back on it and i started asking on discord that how is my video and how should i imporve it, and there i met several people giving me feedback to do this and that and, I had this encounter on Discord with someone named 7z7z i got into his dms and Initially, it started off on a positive note when 7z7z offered some insightful feedback on my video. Their input was genuinely helpful, and I was grateful for it. After incorporating some of their suggestions, I felt like my video was really starting to come together. It was all good , a day passes and at i was working on that video and Then, out of the blue, 7z7z approached me with an opportunity to edit a video, at 3 am a msg pops from 7z7z that can u edit this type of video, the pay was 100 dollars and the video was a weeks works. it was an opportunity and i grabbed it

But here's where things took a turn. We agreed on terms, including a 10% advance payment before I started work on the project. Everything seemed to be lining up perfectly until the moment of money arrived, and the payment didn't came as quickly as I had hoped.because he said that he will pay 10 % and 4 hours went by ,I'll admit, I started to feel a bit anxious. Maybe I was too eager, too hopeful for things to fall into place. Looking back, I can see that I could have handled the situation with more patience and composure.

this was 7z7z reply after i panicked

"I honestly don't think I can start this collab with you after weird interaction
no idea what you might do during the edit
No offense but gotta protect my business interests
here, you started acting weird and panicking all of a sudden, so of course deal is off
"

so it obviously my mistake that i didnt knew how to handle that situation but honestly i got a lesson from there



how could i have handled this situation ?
so that in future my clients don't run away from me
