Motivation, Reason & Earnings
Hey Guys,
Just a post to ask some advice and opinions.
I've been designing websites, forums and graphics for almost 4 years now. Over the years my passions, styles and desires have changed a lot, and not only in what I do for a living. I'm currently a full time student in my second year of business management and general legal principles (dual honours degree).
Over the past few years design has given my life a quality which I hadn't expected....but lately things aren't going so well at all.
I'm losing my love for design, my motivation to get things done and all reason to really be enthused about wanting to do well in this industry. I've come too far to throw it away but I just don't have the push to go further, and this is partly due to my fees...they're just way too low for my experience and the time I spend.
Here's the kicker...if I raise my prices to anything worth raising them to I won't get the business, and I won't make any money. I'm doing worse now than I was comparing my monthly averages to two years ago, which is awful.
What would you do in my shoes?
