What am I worth?
I’m busy. I’m real busy in August. I’ve got pictures to take and websites to build and finish, places to go and parties to have! (My birthday is on the 6th) Sadly, I don’t know if I’m doing myself full justice on all the work that I am doing. How much am I doing as a favor or just for free? No, this isn’t a ‘cry’ for people to start paying me, but I’m just realizing that I need to value my time more in terms of money. I have a tendency to do a lot of things for free. Should I change that?
Where I’m at in life right now, most of my income seems to be self-generated building websites or taking pictures. I don’t have a constant, steady bi-weekly paycheck. At times it can be quite scary. So, I guess I need to ask myself, what do I think I’m worth in the business world? I still work for Main10, and I quite enjoy it there; however, the only clients we are really working with right now are writing contracts, so there really isn’t any design work to be done. So there isn’t much Main10 work for me to do. But… the way these odd jobs just keep coming to me makes me think that staying where I am is the best plan of action. The only question is… what is my time worth?
