Today's episode is about the cost of doing business.
Optics matter. Client's trusting you know how to manage money--matters. Understanding there is no free lunch--matters.
Here is the drum roll take away.
It takes money to make money. Ta da!
Professional designers understand that it costs money to travel to market to learn about the products they specify ( and usually sell for a profit) -- or how important it is to pay for a good attorney in your state to develop a contract to suit your needs--or to get a CPA help to know when to become an S corp. -
- Yes Virgina! it costs money to do these things.
Who sold people the fairy tale this is a cheap business to get into?
It is not. There are money and time costs.
If it were a cake walk, everyone would do it.
And by the grace of all intelligent creatures--- anyone who balks at pay to play, orders 9.99 contracts off Etsy, crowd sources tax advice---- and then has the huevos to complain about clients shopping them or not wanting to pay their 200 buck an hour fees??? Are ya kidding me with this?
