Featured editor question (anonymous):
“How do I stop feeling scared about asking for the rates I want?”

Have you felt like this when taking on new clients?

‘When I’m quoting the price, I’m fighting the panic that I’m charging too much. And then after I’ve done the work, I think I should’ve charged more.

If you wonder how you’ll ever get comfortable with asking for the rates you want, have a listen to this episode where I’ll be talking about how to get more confidence when booking new work.
