I learned this lesson the hard way—and I don’t want you to make the same mistake.

A client asked me to make two dresses for her.
I went all the way to her house to take her measurements.

In my mind, I thought, “She’s comfortable. This shouldn’t be a problem.”
So I made a costly mistake — I didn’t discuss price upfront.

It was during the festive season.
My schedule was full.
The job was urgent.
I rearranged my time and gave it priority.

When it was time to tell her the cost, she looked at me and said,
“It’s too expensive.”

Just like that 🙄
No consideration for the rush.
No consideration for the season.
No consideration for the work already planned.

That day, I learned a very important business lesson:
👉 Never assume a client can afford your service.
👉 Never start work without agreeing on your price.

Clear communication protects your time, your energy, and your business.

If you’re skilled, you deserve to be paid, without guilt and without apology.

Happy new week, friends
