Scared to Jump in with Both Feet?

Hi All,
I've been away from WA for almost a week (feels like years!). The reason is because I was contacted by an attorney network to build 30 sites.... yes, 30. The job paid very well and after talking with the contact, it seemed as if all they wanted were simple WP sites with a few sidebar items and tons of content (that they created and sent to me). We can all do that, right? Hahahahahahahahaha......
Did I mention that the folks that hired me were attorneys? For the purpose of not offending anyone in that profession I will just say that it was extremely difficult to work with them. They all had different opinions about captions, page titles, categories, menu placement, etc. UGH! And don't think for a second that they spared any feelings of mine as I heard "that stinks", "it's horrible", and "what the hell" all multiple times.

I stuck with it because I was determined not to allow these jerks to get the best of me. Long story short- I learned SO MUCH from researching and figuring out how to accommodate all of their requests!! Seriously!! And, by the end (which was about an hour ago), they all told me I did a terrific job and appreciated me putting up with them.
That was one of the scariest things I've ever done! I was truly swimming with the big dogs and holding my own!!
My point is that if I can do it, you can too- trust me! Tons of folks here have said that they would love to work with a few local folks and build a site for them for extra money. JUMP OUT THERE AND JUST DO IT! YOU WILL GROW SO MUCH!
