As freelance creatives, every time we’re presented with the opportunity of taking on a new project, we need to ask ourselves: should we do this?

Now, if you’ve talked to me before, or have read the chapter in my course about determining your ideal potential clients, you’ll know that there are actually a LOT of other questions that I ask myself before taking on a project. The majority of those questions help me to figure out whether or not I’m the right fit for the project (and whether or not the project is the right fit for me). Today, I’d like to focus on a more purely logistical consideration - do I need to take on this project? And ***is it worth my time?
