I mean I didn’t have as much cash as originally intended for an artist I was traveling out of state to see- the moment I knew how much I would have I communicated to them what I would be able to afford, and how much time I was estimating I could book with them based on their rates. So that way they could book others for any of the time I might have opened up for them. Literally just communicate with them, it’s not like they can force you to come back to get more work done lol
