My other favourite dude. Anyone else agree that pets make the best office companions?! If you’ve ever been on a Zoom call with me, chances are you’ve seen this guy wander across the screen 😹 ![When I started freelancing, I had no idea what to charge.
And every piece of advice I found online was in conflict to one another.
People were saying to take your “ideal salary” and divide that by the number of hours you want to/can work.
People were saying to take what the annual salary would be for a role and drop the three 0s to get an hourly rate.
And neither of these two suggestions are the answer.
So if you’re like me, and you like straight up answers and solutions that actually work, my online course Pricing Decided is for you.
In less than two hours you’ll know exactly what you should be charging.
You’ll also gain a heck of a lot of confidence when it comes to talking about money, how to handle all those tough client conversations, and so much more.

You are my safe place. Thank you. ❤️ ![Have you ever been asked to work for free? Or perhaps for... *exposure*?
If you’re a photographer, graphic designer, content creator, blogger, writer, artist of any kind (make up artists, hair stylists, musicians, illustrators, etc), I’m guessing you’re nodding your head.
“My friends husband is starting a business, can you do up a quick logo?”
“I love this photo from your Instagram, can I use it for my business?”
“I can’t afford to pay right now, but it will be great exposure!”
Cringe.
You’ve put YEARS into learning your craft. Your time and expertise are worth being paid for.
Something to ponder...
Would people ever ask a teacher to come teach your kid for free?
Would people ever ask a lawyer to file your will for free?
Would people expect a mechanic to fix your broken windshield for free?
We all know the answer.
For those of you who find yourselves in this position, hold your ground.
Needing to be paid for your work is valid. And communicating this doesn’t mean you’re not a nice person. The two are not mutually exclusive.
And if you need some help, swipe through to see four ways to turn down that free work the next time it comes your way. My personal favourite is number 4.

What if people were as excited for you when you got that promotion you’ve been working your butt off for, for years, as they were when you got married?
What if people were as excited for you when you opened your business you’d been putting blood, sweat, and tears into for a very long time, as when you announced you were pregnant?
What if?
And what if they celebrated you, and showered you with resources and/or gifts that would help make your new venture a little easier?
