6. Don##Q##t let anyone put your business down (unless it sucks)
This is something that I absolutely won##Q##t stand for. I know my value and it##Q##s not based on tenure or ego, it##Q##s based on who I reach. I CONSTANTLY do research and try new ways to improve what I do. When a potential clients comes for a discount by putting my business down it##Q##s like bad credit. I probably won##Q##t take their calls again. Early on, this worked because you may not be too sure about your business and you may lack confidence but once you DO know your value and you develop the confidence, don##Q##t let others shake it. There are some clients you just have to say no to.
