“But what if something happens?? What if the site crashes? What if I’m late? What if..??”
“Do you think any of that stuff is going to happen?” he asked.

This is dangerous advice. It will work well right up until you come across someone who will "fucking sue you". A contract, once signed, is a legally binding promise. You have promised to deliver what's on the contract, and you can be held accountable in a court of law if you fail to do so. The financial penalties for violating a signed contract can easily drive one into bankruptcy, and the reputational penalties can make it very hard to recover.
