Why is it important for freelancers to regularly increase their rates, and how can I set goals to achieve this?

As a freelancer, you need to learn how to be growing. And one of the ways by which you can grow is by constantly increasing your rate, especially when the time calls for it. It is possible to do this. You need to make sure that you are working for the right clients that want you to grow as well, and not those that don't want you to grow. How can you go through this as freelancers without anyone complaining?

There is also a confidence side to this. Many skilled freelancers stay at beginner prices because they worry clients will leave. Yet some clients see very low prices and assume the service is not as good. Price can affect how work is perceived, fairly or not.
