I have been upfront with all of my clients so that they will know my workload, however, for those potential clients, that may have tasks other than proposal writing (as my current clients' tasks), I typically only disclose the fact that I work full-time if they ask, because in most cases, my ideal client, would give me a project that can be done at anytime and has a deadline several days/weeks out. Therefore, I typcially use some of the scenarios above.

I have been in business sice mid January officially and I am still trying to secure my second and third client which I hope to close by today!
