I remember feeling nervous the first time I spoke up in a meeting, but afterwards it became much easier. Have you had a moment that helped build your confidence at work?

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of the things that freaked me out only did so because I had never done them. Practicing really does make perfect, or at least steady progress.

I completely agree, it really is that easy!

Absolutely. The first time is always the hardest, but then when you keep doing it, it becomes easier and easier. That is how I am with saying no to taking on extra work. The first time was the hardest, but now it is much easier.

I agree! It’s really as easy as that

I got some good feedback after speaking up and that gave me a boost

Just got a freelance gig for $1250 for 2 shoot days, but they’re asking for hourly rate for prep days. Not sure what rate to give them & if I should base it on a 10 or 12 hr hourly rate. It’s LA based & content/digital production. I’m not a fan of hourly rates, but I don’t want to lose the gig or end up agreeing to less days than I actually end up working..
