Value Your Work

If you go into business for yourself such as writing, painting, being a motivational speaker, or anything for that matter, you need to value your work. Don’t undersell yourself and make yourself feel worth less than you are just to get a job. Now I’m not saying charge high prices on everything you do. But be mindful of the fact that you need to make a living too. When you sell yourself short you are for one thing demoralizing yourself. Another is that you might get a lot of clients for being so cheap, but you might not be able to handle the workload which will leave you to feel like you can’t do it. Finally customers will place less value on your services. I’ve said this before, you may have to sell your services cheap at first to gain experience. But as soon as you can sell your services for what you are worth, you do it. You will quickly gain the skills and experience you need to place a higher monetary value on yourself. Remember, practice makes perfect.
