Freelancing is already tough, but you know what makes it worse? Other freelancers sabotaging each other. 😩 Some undercut rates
so low till it doesn't make sense, making it harder for everyone to charge what they’re worth. Some even steal clients or badmouth others just to get a job. The market is already small, why are we killing ourselves?? Have you encountered this kind of backstabbing? How do we stop this? We should be lifting each other up, not dragging each other down.

Feel thiss! Freelancing is already a hustle, and some people make it worse by treating it like a race to the bottom. 😩 Lowballing doesn’t just hurt them but it drags the whole industry down. I’ve had clients say, “But so-and-so charges half!” My response? “Then go with them.” Quality has a price.
