I share insights from a colleague&apos;s experience with burnout and the need for fair compensation. I emphasize the necessity of treating payments as a priority, akin to a bill, and suggest setting aside funds for emergencies and retirement. I encourage viewers to establish firm boundaries around payment schedules and to communicate these effectively with clients. Please take a moment to reflect on your own pricing strategies and consider how you can implement these practices.</description></oembed>
