I can't agree with this quote enough: "If you're mad at your client for any reason, it only means you're not charging him enough." Tripling my cost per hour m

  How do you triple your cost with an existing client without sounding too arrogant / asshole ? (I really want to know.)

    I held a meeting with my client and I told him that I had enough work at the new rate to fill my work week (which was true) and that I didn't want to create a situation where I prioritize some client work over other client word because of the different levels of pay. The client wanted to keep the same rate and quality of service that I had been providing so he agreed. He told me that he obviously wasn't happy with it but that I was worth it. I went into the meeting with two options that I would be happy with: not continuing work for that client, or working at a much higher rate.

    Prove yourself first. Then it (should) be rather easy. If they don't accept, time to find another client.
