That was my experience too, Damaria. The moment I valued my own skill, I didn’t fight to keep clients not worth keeping.

So glad to see you here. I miss you. 🙂

I was afraid that the potential client would hire someone else to do the job. Once I began to value my work, I was fine with the potential client who walked because they did not want to pay my fee. I began to regard days when I had no contracted work as days I could spend marketing. Now I have a marketing plan and everyday, I do a task or two towards building my client base and I know if the potential client and I can’t come to an agreement about price, I have more prospects lined up.

Feeding teenagers takes at least $100 per teen per day, Mary!
