Nah, we're all guity.

I've had a few years where I marketed myself as "fast and cheap" and found myself in a perpetual hell of trying to keep up, pay the bills, and keep clients happy.

It's next to impossible, I learned a few years back that I was on a crash course, and changed the way I roll.

I think most people know now, that I'm slow and expensive.

I have supplemental income that floats the boat while gigs are low ,and I prefer to book only premium work, I work with resellers that separate myself from the client, removing quotes with emotions attached, like an overdue bill etc.

It ends up that you make more money.

Will I give the odd client a break, or a lower rate if I find them amusing to work for, or if it's a project I'm interested in? sure.. but for the most part now, I'm aiming for a good rate that will allow me to work my ass off on your project, without my ass hurting after.

I've grown and learned.. and quite simply put, I'd rather play my Xbox than do a template for $50, with the odd exception here and there.
