Jason: I agree with you. While there is a proper time and place for an official contract as well as for a simply listing of expectations, the big thing is that – by the very fact it’s in writing (including the specific elements of mutual expectation) – it means that expectations have been thoughtfully discussed, hashed out and agreed upon. And, of course, it ensures that honest and genuine, but faulty memories are less likely to occur. At least, without something to help clarify. Thank you for sharing!

Got me thinking of all the “handshake” deals I’ve done in the past.

You know, even if you don’t go through the trouble of an official “contract”, just getting expectations on paper is a really Really REALLY good idea.

No excuse for saying, “awwwww…I don’t have time right now to bother with a contract”. Takes you 5 minutes to draft up an expectation document.
