Someone I know asked me to cover an event with photos and VIDEO. I’ve only had one person ask me to cover with video and it went pretty well. However the problem is people ask for these things and I agree before knowing if it is paid or not.
Initially hearing the request I said yes, then asked if paid and it isn’t. I was still in the YES camp until yesterday when I seriously considered my schedule. I called them up after saying yes and said no that I couldn’t. I felt proud I did this with enough time that they could find someone else to take it on.
The longer I wait to reply no it seems I have guilt about saying no appear. I feel I need to groom “No” as a way of honoring what I can’t or won’t do. It will probably also lead me to getting PAID for what I enjoy doing also.
