Make Sure the Juice is Worth the Squeeze 🧃

What does this mean ❔

Basically, it is the end result worth the effort that it takes to achieve it.

Take this into consideration when thinking about accepting a freelance gig.

You should make sure that the job checks all the boxes of being a good, healthy project and aligning with your own individual direction as well.

I know, the money seems good… right now 🤨

But you’re going to be dreading that when you’re 3 weeks into a project and struggling to find the motivation, the inspiration, or drive to see it through.

Besides, the perfect client makes the best lemonade 🍋

SAYING

Make sure the juice is worth the squeeze.
