This week I am proud of myself that I demonstrated and stayed true to my value in a negotiation. My former employer who I continued collaborating with after I went self-employed so that I had a financial buffet wants to half my retainer next year. I showed my value by offering a counterproposal, and decided that if they are unable to meet me at least half way, then they might not be the right client to have anymore! And this scares them because I have done a really good job with their client and their client doesn’t want to lose me 😃
