Stretching yourself a bit thin?

It's every artist's first instinct to say "yes" when offered work.

But have you stopped to think, "Can I actually do this?"

What is it that you do, exactly?

This is a pretty important question to ask yourself.  It could be the difference between success and failure.  Not just in this one project, but your overall career as well!

Do you follow-up?

What if you sent a client your rates after they requested them, but you haven't heard back yet?

Do you follow up?

I thought this was a good question for a post from @lilmissmachete aka Marcela Vargas via Twitter.  I thought more people might like to know what to do in this situation, so I posted my truncated response.
