I used to chase every project, but a $500 job took three weeks and I lost a bigger one.
I realized I was pricing my time wrong. The low paying client was way more demanding than the good one I had to turn down. Do you focus on project value or just filling your calendar?

That three week $500 job, what was the final straw?

Yeah, that line about the $500 job taking three weeks hits hard. It's not just about the money, it's the mental drain. @samflores is right that cheap work eats time, but how do you actually spot those clients early? Is it about setting clearer rules before you even agree on a price, or do you just have to learn the hard way each time?
