Thank you for that. Ive been raising rates steadily for the past year and I still haven't hit that spot. Since this is my only source of income it's tough because of the fear that I'll miss out on a lot of work. But I've heard this before and it rings true as I do see that so far I'm getting what I ask for. And I do have satisfied clients. I'm hyper aware of their feelings and do all I can to not disappoint. I'd never take on a job knowing I couldn't deliver on my promises.

The biggest lesson I've learned in life is that you never truly shed your fear until you've fallen to the very bottom. The bottom is scary because it's unknown. Once you know what it's like to fail in such a colossal fashion that it ruins everything you've strived towards for years, it's not so bad, and not so scary after all. And as a result, you gain a much more balanced ability to assess risk, and become quite fearless in the eyes of others who have not had such an opportunity. It's a huge advantage.
