My (Exact) Response To A Cheap Client Who Offered Me $500 For A $5,550 Job
Get smarter at getting paid what you’re — really — worth.
You get to set your price.
Not your client. Not your industry. Not your mom.
You are worth more than what you believe you are worth.
I was once the easy choice — the cheap choice. I was paid to do.
Now I’m the hard choice — the investment. I am paid to think.
I’m not saying these words to boast. I’m not saying these words to make you feel bad about yourself. I’m not saying these words to bad-mouth doing. I’m saying these words because little Jano needed to hear them before ever lowering his worth to unworthy people.
Little Jano got bullied because he allowed it.
Perhaps you’re at a crossroads where you resonate with little Jano. Perhaps — deep down — you know you’re worth more than what clients are paying you. Perhaps you’re just tired of kissing frogs and want some decent clients who value you.
I’d hate to see you get bullied by my past mistakes.
