I read that article as well, and it's so important to know that you don't have to abuse yourself to do what you love, to make bank, or live comfortably. I'm a big fan of education as it is, so taking classes on small business admin is a beautiful idea! FANTASTIC points, Allie!

Contracts are SO important, and on big purchases, I've been very, VERY lucky. Communication, honesty, and understanding really go a long way, especially when there's a due date involved on a project.

Trust is very important-- and it's important to realize when an acceptable amount of time has passed and when it's been to.fucking.long between contact. (For me, the TFL is about a month. 1 week I find acceptable, though frustrating.) Yes!

I really hate to think of people like you & Wendy getting monster customers D:You're right though-- I imagine that MOST customers are actually great, understanding, wonderful people to work with. It's easy to remember the bad ones and forget the good ones, but both should make a designer feel grateful! Yikes! I really hate to think of people like you & Wendy getting monster customers D:

But on the other hand, people should understand that profit is the bottom line. Many people can be talked down a few bucks, but half price is insulting! That probably didn't even cover his costs for labor and materials.
