Ok. Things are much, much better now. I find myself busy on most days with tons of graphic design work. I have a few regular clients and the money is starting to come in... a little bit. My only problem is that I don't charge my clients enough and I find myself working endless hours for barely anything... I am giving people and their businesses deals and breaks left and right, but when do I get my break? I suppose this is going to be a problem until I toughen up a little bit and just start saying NO and charging what I am worth. And I think I am just as good (if not better) than the local competition. Not only do I charge about $30 less than the other local businesses, but I feel that my art is more up-to-date with current trends and more fun... I'm trying not to toot my own horn here, but I'm being honest when I say these things. I just wish that more people could find out about my graphics business and I could start getting some clients that actually want to pay for the services that I can provide... I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck and barely getting by... you know?
