I have a difficult time asking for more money.
I'm a freelance web dev. When the clients change things slightly I feel bad in asking for more money and I lose a little time and then get mad. I feel like a jew if I ask for more money for little things but they always blow out of proportion.

How can I stop being a cuck? Please help.

Firstly, please cease using the word 'jew' in a derogatory anti-semetic manner. I am not jewish by the way.

You have the right idea now. Don't sweat small charges, especially when you're starting off. In general people appreciate freebies way out of proportion to what they cost you. A little 10 minute job free of charge could net you a lifetime client later on.

I'm not starting off, I've been doing this for years and they never appreciated shit. Only thing it happens is that clients will push for an unlimited amount of 10 minutes change until you have to tell them to fuck off. Honestly I understand now why doctors will charge you money for a 10 minutes visit without giving a correct diagnosis or any decent diagnosis, but I still can't bring myself to do it.

Business owner here. You need to accept some of the rules of business:

1. The customer is not your friend, putting their money into your bank is all that matters

2. Honesty over abuse 100% of the time. Just explain the situation and tell them they need to pay more for the change

3. Don't try to make every customer happy. You will piss some people off. Accept it. The biggest companies in America treat tons of customers like shit. And look at them they are billionaires.

4. Dont believe something about a customer reaction without testing it. Just try explaining the issue and see what kinds of reactions you get.

5. Explain common issues before agreeing to the work. For example tell them if they make small changes it will add to the hourly rate. No matter how small the change.

6. Increase your prices in such a way that even if the customer ends up costing you some extra time you're still ahead.

It took me a long time to realize that you can be a very successful business owner and still occasionally piss people off. Trying to make 100% of your customers like you is a very stupid thing to do. Trust me.

The problem with this mentality is some customers pick up on it, and use it to maximum advantage.

Learning to make the rules with a customer is a lesson every businessman needs to master.

Time is money. How are you agreeing to terms before you work right now? Put the job in writing on a quote before you do any work. In a footnote say additional work will be done happily until the customer is satisfied but may incur an additional charge. You can't let your client string you along because there's a chance they'll never be 100% satisfied.

The first time you're rude to a customer is the hardest. Each time you do it, it gets easier.

And afterwards you relax because you realize it isn't going to hurt your business and you become more powerful.

Your amount of control over your life and feelings of anxiety are inversely correlated

Point out that you have a strict price/day (or price/hour), when you make a price quotation, make clear the number of days that will be required for that work + the number of changes, be a bit elastic but not too much.
