I taught myself to code and have been offering website design services. I watched this video and I think I'm trapped on the second step.
I have many ideas for creating my own 'specialised unit', but to pay the bills I take on client projects. The problem is, when I take on a client project I become obsessed - every project, no matter how low the quote, becomes a major production.
I can't help myself. I never charge the client more than the original quote because I feel it's unfair - they didn't ask for all the extras. I just can't stop adding value and improving the project.
I have a pitch coming up. The client wants a new brand strategy and marketing material for recruitment. I have an idea that could completely transform their business, and have no doubt they will like it, but it will be expensive to launch. So, I've spent the last few weeks coding mockups, researching wearable technology and IoT to present them, not only with a concept, but a feasible business plan.
What's wrong with me? How do I get unstuck? I think my desire for approval has trapped me on the second step in a never-ending cycle of under-quoting and over-delivering.
