Dear Amy: I am a people pleaser, volunteering at a nonprofit that helps Afghan refugee women. We provide fabric and a space with sewing machines where they can come and work. Lately, these women are making items that they may be able to sell.
She told me that if we figured out how to make this, we could let the Afghan women make and sell them. She provided fabric for the copy.
In this case, I intended to ask Kara to give a donation to the charity so we could purchase more fabric. One hundred dollars didn’t seem out of line.I gave her instructions and the pattern pieces, and she gave me $20 to donate to the charity.After she left, I felt used, so I called her and told her that she needed to pay me for my time if she was going to sell this dress design for a profit.
I suggest that your chronic undercharging is more a reflection of your confidence in the worth of your work than your desire to please.If you don’t set your price and state it clearly before doing the work, then you leave it up to the buyer to guess a fair compensation – or to gently rip you off.I hope you will take this episode as an opportunity to adjust your business model.
