Believe it or not, there are certain projects that you probably
shouldn't accept. Turning down work is probably the hardest decision
you will need to make when running your business, but sometimes
turning down a gig is necessary. In this article I will explain
to you the details that you need to consider when you aren't sure
which route to take. Consider the following:
1.
Will I Learn From This Gig? - As a freelancer, especially
one in a technical field, you are expected always to be on top of
new advances in your field. Therefore, taking a gig that will help
you learn about something is probably worth taking on. However,
it is important to make sure that you can do the job well even though
it is new waters for you. 2.
Is The Money Good? - If the gig pays a lot of money, taking
the money without any other benefits is probably a good idea. I
am sure that you have an hourly rate, use this rate as a gauge to
decide whether to take a job or not.
3.
Do You Trust The Client? - If a potential client gives you
the heebie-jeebies then your instincts are probably telling you
something. Do the potential client's references check out? If you
mistrust a potential client, but the pay looks good, perform a background
check. An untrustworthy client could cheat you out of a lot of money,
and isn't worth the collection efforts.
