I've burned out a few times...and I'm just now seeing the light :) Web Design isn't my calling in life, that's for sure. You'll be seeing some of my real talents coming to the web here shortly.

You can end up spending a ton of time working on projects that just aren't very profitable. You also have to be careful on who you work with. I recently turned down a good project because the client was going to be a pain in you know where. In any business, I think it is important to be both picky and prideful! You're better off because of it. Great points! You can end up spending a ton of time working on projects that just aren’t very profitable. You also have to be careful on who you work with.

My rule was whatever I though the site was worth... I would multiply it by x2 or x4. It is amazing what type of respect you get when someone is paying you $8k to build a website vs someone who is paying you $2k or nothing.They don't waste your time. 80/20 rule at work man :)Keep killing it buddy!
