0.000 HBDShould you work for free?
 ----- I remember when I had my business and just started that the hardest part (besides getting clients) was asking for decent money. I started with asking way too little for my services and it haunted me for years because clients got accustomed to it. I also vaguely remember some family members and friends of friends no longer asking for my *free* help now that I was charging for it. Over years I slowly raised the price I would ask for jobs but I should have asked what I was worth straight away. It could have saved me years of 'being fearful' for their reaction about a price rise every-time I would do so. Asking what you are worth is hard and a life skill I needed to learn over time. About 3-4 years ago ago Blockbrother @s3rg3 (Also a certified Apple consultant) sent me this schedule and after doing some jobs with him I realised I could charged way more for my services than I was doing. It was a good lesson. This schedule he sent me is awesome btw. It might not teach you how to ask for what you are worth but it will prevent you from working for free. Especially when it's for a business. -----  [Source](http://www.shouldiworkforfree.com/) ------ I thought about this schedule when I read @blocktrades worker proposal [here](https://steemit.com/blocktrades/@blocktrades/proposing-a-worker-proposal-system-for-steem). This is how you do it. Steemit inc. is not a friend or charity. It's a business and he treats them as such. It doesn't mean you can't be friends and have drink wether the answer is yes or no to your proposal but business = business. It's always good to remember that. -------  --- #### I am part of witness [@blockbrothers](https://steemit.com/@blockbrothers).
