Being easy to work with doesn't mean being cheap.
The clients who constantly negotiate your price will usually negotiate your time, your boundaries, and your patience too.
You teach people how to treat your business by what you tolerate.
Stop bending over backwards for people who don't respect the value you bring.
Charge enough to do your best work without resentment.
Say no when the fit is wrong.
The goal isn't to convince everyone to hire you.
It's to become valuable enough that the right clients don't need convincing.
