I know a guy, just builds stairs. Every significant house builder in the area has him in, all the work he wants. Heard him say on the phone "I have so much work, If I don't want to do a job I don't have to do it. And I don't want to do that. Thanks!"
- newsbinator 5y agoSounds like he's not charging enough
- ineedasername 5y agoI'm not sure the best equilibrium is "I can barely get enough work to fill my time". That's a very brittle position. Better to have some buffer and then you're able to turn away jobs you don't like. Maybe you leave 10% on the table, but if times get lean you don't want all of your prospects to dry up because "That guy charges way too much".
- newsbinator 5y agoI'd say like with all freelancers and contractors, it's "I can't double my rates because then I'd lose half my business".
