Charging for revisions cost me my top client. No regrets.

Man, this hits on something I see all the time. It's like when you help people out for free, they just keep coming back with more asks. Putting a clear cost on things makes everyone stop and think twice. Why do we only respect limits when there's a price tag attached? I notice this with friends always wanting free advice or neighbors borrowing stuff. Setting those boundaries isn't just good for business, it's a life skill.

Yeah it's a tough spot but honestly charging for them is what saved my sanity. I mean, when I did free unlimited edits, clients would just keep changing their minds forever. Now I give two rounds in the first price, and spell out that more cost extra. It actually makes them think harder before sending notes. Maybe it's just me but losing a client who wants endless free work isn't really a loss in the long run.
