When I was so intent on obtaining work I almost gave my services away. As a result prospects did not think my skills were valuable, and I got less assignments. Now I try to charge a fair,but not "cheap" rate and I choose how I spend my time. My most recent experience in being selective was when I "fired" a prospect. I did not like the "vibes" this gentleman projected, so I chose not to work with him. It is very liberating to know your own worth and to choose how you will spend your time.
