By all means, help a friend. But at somepoint it should become obvious THEY are not YOUR friend. If they were, they wouldn't treat you like they do, wouldn't put you in the straights they do. At some point you must realize who is a true friend and who is just using you. May I suggest you politely tell someone (a client for instance) that you would love to take on another job for them, but as you haven't been paid for the previous one(s) yet, and as you DO have expenses, you are now forced to invest your time where it will bring a return on your creative investment. "I hope you can appreciate my position." They'll ride you for as long as they can if you'll let them. Sadly, that's the way business runs today. If you lose their work, what have you really lost? I think they'll have a new sense of respect for you. But of course, you're a big boy, and old habits don't die easily , and you ARE a good guy...so you do what you're comfortable with. Sorry to get preachy. It just bugs me when a friend get dumped on. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
