Talking to my 67 year old neighbor changed how I see pricing
He was a freelancer back in the 80s doing graphic design. He told me he used to quote jobs based on how much he needed that month, not what the work was worth. Said he lost out on thousands over 30 years by being too scared to ask for more. I thought about my own rates and realized I do the same thing. Anyone else catch themselves pricing based on their bank balance instead of the value?

Based on how much he needed that month" - wow. That's wild to think about actually pricing yourself based on panic instead of the actual work.

Ngl though, sometimes panic is the only thing that gets you paid on time.

Had a buddy @wade_anderson who once quoted a job for like $50 because his rent was due the next day.
