When you’re starting out it’s tempting to take on projects from family and friends to get some experience and when experience is the most important thing, go for it. But family and friends are often the worst kind of clients (other than zombies): getting your time for free and valuing none of it. As soon as you have a portfolio you are proud of or have landed the kind of job you want never take another family/friends job unless you want to AND they pay you. You can give them a discount, even a deep discount, but they need to know your time is valuable (and at the end, if they were a good client and you didn’t consider letting a zombie bite you just to get away from them, charge them less than you said you would). The same absolutely goes for charitable organizations.
