Did you actually feel like you were undervaluing your work before she said that, or was it more of a random suggestion? I get that raising rates can feel right in some cases, but it's also easy to price yourself out if you dont have a solid client base yet. Ive seen people jump from $50 to $80 an hour overnight and then wonder why their regulars ghost them. Sometimes that kind of advice comes from a good place but doesnt really fit your specific situation.

Tess, $50 to $80 overnight is a wild jump, that's asking to lose people. Usually if the advice fits you just know, but most of the time it's just someone projecting their own hustle onto you.

Only if you want your regulars to vanish overnight, @tessap97.
