Know Your Worth, Break Your Limits

I remember when I first started my website design business. I was working as a freelancer and only charging a few hundred dollars for my work. I thought that since I was first starting out, I didn’t have the right to charge what others were charging, despite my ability to code a full site from scratch and my knowledge of good design and layout principles. I didn’t realize how I was hurting myself because even though I was charging the lowest of the low, I still ran into customers who wanted to pay me less than that. It took a toll on my confidence and made me feel like I was in the wrong industry. I didn’t understand how those who don’t even code or create custom designs were able to successfully charge ten times what I was charging.

Breaking Free From Self-Imposed Limits

I would often pray that God would just give me nice clients who understood the value of what I had to offer and not treat me like all of the time, energy and effort I invested in perfecting my craft and honing my skills wasn’t worth it. My praying and seeking the Lord in my business, lead me to realize that it was me that was the problem. We can pray and ask God for something, but if we are not in the position to receive it, we will miss every opportunity He sends our way.

The only limits are the ones we place on ourselves

For me, it was my lack of confidence. If I didn’t believe that I could charge what my work was really worth, then no one else would believe that they should pay what it is really worth. Instead of standing my ground, I folded when I knew, or rather assumed that the prospective client wouldn’t want to pay what my work was worth. Sometimes, I didn’t even give myself the chance to present the proper price out of fear that it would be rejected. If I wanted others to understand the value of what I had to offer, I would need to show that I valued it myself.

The confidence didn’t increase overnight, but as I began to learn more and more about who I am in Christ, as a Kingdom Citizen, it increased more and more by the day. I came to a place where I refuse to settle for less than God’s best for me. No longer would I put limits on myself because I now know my worth. I was made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26), and I am a reflection of Him and His great potential. I am a joint-heir with Christ and His great and precious promises are available to me (2 Peter 1:2-4). I no longer feared losing opportunities because I knew that if it was going to cause me to have to settle for way less than what it was worth, then it wasn’t a good opportunity in the first place.

I share this story to encourage you to know your worth and be confident in who God created you to be and what He has given you. You may get a “no”, here and there, but never let those no’s define who you are or make you question your worth. Find your target audience, those you know you are meant to serve and be confident that you have what it takes, and what you have to offer is extremely valuable.
