Ask How do you know when you have grown enough as a freelancer to start offering higher-level services?

[Brendan]

There comes a time when you feel like you are doing the same simple tasks over and over again. You might feel ready to take on bigger projects that require more thinking and better skills. It is scary to move up because you might worry that you are not good enough yet for the big leagues. I think looking at your past results is the best way to judge your progress. At what point did you realize you were ready for more?

Past client results matter more than how confident you feel. If the work you delivered actually helped someone grow their business or solve a real problem, that is solid proof your skills are at a higher level now, not just your own opinion of yourself.

Also, when you stop second-guessing every decision and start finishing work without needing much feedback, that is a sign your skills have moved to the next level. Clients trusting you with less supervision also shows that your work quality has gone up without you even noticing it.

My target is to execute 200 successful project and the customer must be highly satisfied before I could start thinking of charging high rate. I give myself this higher target in order to build confidence in portfolio to charge higher amount of money for the service I render in the marketplace.
