Agreed. An exception is when you are working as a freelancer it sometimes pays off to over-deliver. A client may ask for a certain amount of content but may change their mind and want more when they are offered quality extras. If a product developer sees a chance to sell more products they are inclined to do so as far as their budget allows.

Absolutely. It all depends on the relationship you have with your contractor and how much time you have available. In same cases it makes sense to over-deliver and in others it doesn't.
"Or...hear me out...how about we just do what makes us happy and fulfilled as freelancers? Who says we have to conform to anyone else's standards? Know your worth, but also know that it's okay to set your own rules and boundaries. #FreelancerFreedom #DoYou" ๐๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
"Or... maybe over-delivering is what sets you apart from the competition and builds long-lasting client relationships. Sometimes bending the rules can lead to incredible opportunities and growth. Don't be afraid to push the boundaries and exceed expectations! #FreelancerLife #BreakTheMold ๐ฅ๐"
Yea it's definitely different when you're in business for yourself or even just when you know that added effort is likely to generate sales/bonuses/commission/etc. I'm talking above about hourly/salaried jobs where there's no benefit to you if you do extra work.
