Summary
Jasmine Lee is weighing a decision that trips up nearly every freelancer at some point: a potential client wants to pay less than her rate, and there's a gap in her income that makes the offer tempting. She wants to know if filling that gap with a low-paying client is ever a smart move—or if it always comes back to bite her. Preston and business strategist Chanda Costin dig into the pricing psychology behind the question, when holding the line is non-negotiable, and the specific situations where a little flexibility might actually make sense.
