I love your posts, Andrea. This is so true. I deal every day with many women who work on a freelance basis and it's incredible the amount of money they settle for. I think women feel the need to please and be approved of. We are scared to ask for what we deserve because we don't want to disappoint anyone.

It took me a while to learn my lesson, but I really learned it. Now I just go into every new relationship with the attitude that I have nothing to lose. I have my minimum price and it's take it or leave it. I figure if people are unwilling to accept my rate, probably they won't appreciate my services or trust me anyway. So, it works out in the end. I get what I deserve and the client gets good service. We all win!
