Financial health is also important to a thriving community.
You can't keep giving back when you're so broke, you're stressed and overwhelmed.
In my career journey that ended up with me as a freelancer, this is what I've learned.
1. Believe you are worthy.
If you don't believe you're worth $150 an hour, you won't charge it.
2. Understand what you cost.
If you don't know how much time you spend on a project, you don't know if you're profitable. This also means taking into account your expenses.
3. Exploring other business ideas.
This is where failure is a great teacher. Sometimes the ideas we have come from iterating on our own ventures that aren't working. Be open and agile to new idea.
