Pricing for Beginners for Fashion & Beauty

Pricing for Beginners in Fashion & Beauty: A Digital Nomad's Guide to Setting Your Rates

• Highlight your expertise: What specific skills do you possess that are difficult to replicate? Is it your knowledge of specific software, your background in luxury brand management, or your ability to forecast trends?
• Showcase your results: How have you helped clients achieve their goals? Did your styling advice lead to increased sales for a personal brand? Did your beauty photography increase engagement on a cosmetic company's social media by 30%? Quantifying your impact creates undeniable value. ### Quantifying the Intangible In fashion and beauty, much of what you offer feels intangible. How do you put a price on looking good or feeling confident? * Emotional impact: A new wardrobe can boost self-esteem and professional presence. Flawless makeup can make a special occasion unforgettable. These emotional outcomes are deeply valued by clients.
• Brand perception: Your design work or styling can significantly enhance a brand's image, making it appear more premium, approachable, or. A strong brand image can lead to higher sales and customer loyalty.
• Time-saving for clients: For busy entrepreneurs or brands, your remote services (e.g., virtual styling, social media content creation, trend research) save them immense amounts of time and mental energy. Time is a valuable commodity. Example: A remote personal stylist might charge a premium because they help a high-net-worth client overhaul their wardrobe without ever having to step foot in a store, saving them countless hours and ensuring they always look impeccable for their virtual meetings and occasional in-person appearances. The value isn't just the clothes; it's the time, convenience, and confidence packaged into one service. Consider the diverse needs of clients found on platforms like Talent, ranging from individual influencers to major fashion labels. Each will perceive value differently. Understanding this allows you to tailor your pricing and communicate your worth effectively.

Researching the Market: Competitors and Client Expectations Once you understand your own value, it's time to look outwards. Market research is not about copying but about gaining insights to position yourself strategically. For a digital nomad, this research expands beyond local markets to encompass national and international pricing standards, especially if you're serving clients globally. ### Analyzing Competitor Pricing This is often the first step people take, but it should be done after you understand your own value. * Direct Competitors: Who offers similar services with a similar level of experience and quality? Check their websites, LinkedIn profiles, and online portfolios. Do they list prices? If not, look for clues like their client roster or testimonials.
• Indirect Competitors: How else might your clients solve the problem you address? For instance, if you're a remote UI/UX designer for fashion e-commerce, an indirect competitor might be a client trying to design their website internally or using a generic template.
• Geographic Variations: Pricing for a fashion illustrator based in Paris might differ significantly from one in Bangkok. However, if you are remote, you can compete for clients anywhere. You need to decide if you will price based on your location, the client's location, or a global average. Often, pricing based on the client's perceived value and budget (which can correlate with their location) yields better results.
• Platform-specific pricing: If you find work through platforms like UpWork or Fiverr, examine what others with similar skills are charging. Be wary of competing solely on price on these platforms, as it can lead to a race to the bottom. Focus on showcasing your unique selling points. ### Understanding Client Budgets and Expectations Different client types have vastly different budgets and expectations for fashion and beauty services. * Startups/Small Businesses: They often have tighter budgets but might be open to more flexible payment terms or equity in exchange for services (though proceed with caution here). They value clear, tangible results and efficiency.
• Mid-sized Businesses: They typically have established budgets and are looking for professional, reliable services that can scale with their needs. They appreciate good communication and demonstrable ROI.
• Large Corporations/Luxury Brands: These clients have significant budgets and expect exceptional quality, experience, and often, discretion. They often prioritize reputation and a proven track record. They might also have complex procurement processes that you need to navigate.
• Individual Clients (B2C): For services like personal styling, makeup artistry, or wardrobe consulting, individual clients' budgets vary widely based on their income, lifestyle, and the perceived importance of the service. Tailored packages might work best here. Actionable Tip: Don't be afraid to ask about a client's budget range early in the conversation, after you've thoroughly explained your value and before you present a formal proposal. This helps avoid wasting time on incompatible projects and allows you to tailor your offering. Phrases like, "To help me put together the most relevant proposal for you, do you have a general budget expectation for this project?" are perfectly acceptable.

Many freelancers make the mistake of only considering their personal income needs, forgetting the myriad of costs associated with running a business, especially as a digital nomad. ### Business Expenses (Fixed & Variable) Your business isn't just you; it's also a collection of tools, software, and services that enable your remote work. * Software & Subscriptions: Adobe Creative Suite, Canva Pro, project management tools like Asana or Trello, video conferencing (Zoom Pro), accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero), website hosting, domain names, email marketing platforms.
• Tools & Equipment: High-quality camera, lighting equipment, laptop, external monitors, specialized fashion design software (e.g., CLO3D), makeup kits, styling tools. These might be one-off purchases but consider depreciation and replacement costs.
• Professional Development: Online courses, workshops, industry conferences (even virtual ones), books. Staying competitive in fashion and beauty requires continuous learning.
• Marketing & Sales: Website maintenance, advertising (paid social ads), professional networking memberships, portfolio development.
• Administrative Costs: Bank fees, legal advice (contracts, IP protection), insurance (liability, equipment).
• Coworking Spaces/Office: If you occasionally use a coworking space in Lisbon or Taipei, factor in those costs.
• Taxes: This is a big one. As a freelancer, you're responsible for self-employment taxes. It's wise to set aside a significant portion (20-35% depending on your location and income bracket) of your gross income for taxes.
• Payment Processor Fees: If clients pay via PayPal, Stripe, or other platforms, these fees eat into your revenue. ### Personal Living Expenses (The Digital Nomad Factor) Your income needs to cover your lifestyle, which can vary wildly depending on your chosen nomad destinations and preferences. * Accommodation: Rent (long-term or short-term, e.g., Airbnb in Medellin), utilities.
• Food: Groceries, dining out.
• Travel: Flights between locations, local transportation. This is often a significant expense for digital nomads.
• Visas & Insurance: Travel insurance, health insurance that covers you internationally, visa application fees.
• Personal Care: Healthcare (dental, optical), fitness memberships, clothing.
• Savings & Retirement: Don't forget to pay your future self!
• Buffer for Downtime: As a freelancer, income can be feast or famine. Build in a buffer for periods between projects or during slower seasons. Formula for your hourly rate (Cost-plus Approach): 1. Calculate Annual Business Expenses: Sum all your recurring annual business costs.

2. Calculate Desired Annual Personal Income: How much do you need/want to live comfortably and save?

3. Total Annual Income Required: Business Expenses + Personal Income.

4. Estimate Billable Hours per Year: Assume a realistic number. Full-time might be 40 hours/week, but a freelancer typically spends only 60-70% of their time on billable work (the rest is admin, marketing, learning). So, if you work 48 weeks a year 40 hours/week = 1920 hours total. Billable hours might be 1920 0.65 = 1248 hours.

5. Minimum Hourly Rate: Total Annual Income Required / Estimated Billable Hours per Year. This calculation gives you a baseline. You almost always need to charge more than this minimum to account for market rates, value perception, and profit. Think of this as your absolute floor. Consider taking our freelance income calculator course for more in-depth guidance. --- ## 4. Popular Pricing Models for Fashion & Beauty Services Choosing the right pricing model is crucial. Different models suit different types of services, client expectations, and your own business strategy. ### A. Hourly Rate How it works: You charge a fixed amount for every hour you work.

Best for: Projects with undefined scopes, ongoing consulting, tasks where time is directly proportional to output, or when clients prefer to pay for specific blocks of your time.

Pros: Easy to calculate and track; clients understand the concept.

Cons: Caps your earnings (you can only work so many hours); clients can be wary of "time clock watching"; makes it hard to distinguish your value if a more efficient worker charges the same per hour but delivers in less time; penalizes efficiency.

Fashion/Beauty Example: A remote assistant helping with social media scheduling for a beauty brand, charged at $X per hour for a set number of hours per week or month. Or a styling consultation billed per hour.

Tip: If using an hourly rate, be very clear about what constitutes a billable hour and use time-tracking software. Provide regular updates on hours spent. ### B. Project-Based (Fixed Fee) How it works: You quote a single, all-inclusive price for an entire project, regardless of the hours it takes.

Best for: Projects with a clearly defined scope, deliverables, and timeline (e.g., designing a fashion logo, creating a lookbook, developing a content strategy for a new beauty product launch).

Pros: Clients love predictability; incentivizes you to work efficiently; allows for higher earnings if you work quickly; positions you as a problem-solver, not an hourly worker.

Cons: Requires excellent scope definition; risks unexpected scope creep (client asking for "just one more thing"); challenging if project requirements change.

Fashion/Beauty Example: Designing a capsule collection of 10 items for a new brand, creating a brand identity package for a beauty startup, or developing a 3-month social media content calendar for a cosmetics company.

Tip: Always include a detailed scope of work in your contract, stipulating what is included and, crucially, what is not. Define the number of revisions allowed. Clearly state your process for managing scope creep (e.g., additional work will be quoted separately as a change order). See our guide on creating client contracts for more details. ### C. Retainer (Monthly Fee) How it works: Clients pay a recurring fee for a set amount of your time or specific services each month.

Best for: Ongoing collaborations, consistent support, clients needing regular access to your expertise.

Pros: Provides predictable recurring income; builds long-term client relationships; reduces time spent on finding new clients.

Cons: Requires careful management to ensure you deliver agreed-upon services; requires commitment from both sides.

Fashion/Beauty Example: A remote PR specialist managing ongoing media relations for a fashion label, a personal stylist offering monthly wardrobe updates and shopping advice, or a marketing consultant providing monthly analytics and strategy for a beauty e-commerce store.

Tip: Clearly define the services covered by the retainer, the number of hours (if applicable), and how excess work will be handled. A good retainer agreement should specify review periods. ### D. Value-Based Pricing How it works: You price your services based on the perceived value or impact you deliver to the client, rather than your costs or hours spent.

Best for: Experienced professionals with a proven track record, projects with a high potential ROI for the client, situations where your work directly translates to increased revenue, savings, or brand equity for the client.

Pros: Potentially the most profitable model; aligns your success with the client's success; positions you as a strategic partner.

Cons: Can be difficult to quantify value upfront; requires strong communication skills to articulate the value; clients might resist if they don't see the connection.

Fashion/Beauty Example: A branding expert charges a premium to develop a new luxury beauty brand identity, knowing that a strong brand directly translates to higher price points and customer loyalty for the client. Or a stylist consulted for a celebrity event, where their work significantly impacts the celebrity's public image and endorsement potential.

Tip: This requires deep client understanding. Ask questions like: "What would the impact be if this project goes perfectly?" "What is the cost of not doing this project?" "How much revenue could this generate for you?" Understand numbers important to the client and connect your work to them. ### E. Tiered Packages/Bundles How it works: Offering different service levels (e.g., Basic, Standard, Premium) at different price points, often bundling various services together.

Best for: Clients with varying needs and budgets, providing flexibility without custom quotes for every inquiry.

Pros: Caters to a wider range of clients; simplifies decision-making for clients; can lead to upselling.

Cons: Requires careful thought about what to include in each tier; can be confusing if too many options exist.

Fashion/Beauty Example: A remote makeup artist offering "Virtual Lesson - Basic" (1 hour, specific focus), "Virtual Lesson - Premium" (2 hours, full face, product recommendations), and "Virtual Lesson - VIP" (3 hours, full face, personalized shopping list, follow-up). A fashion photographer offering different packages for product shoots based on the number of items or edits.

Tip: Use a "good, better, best" structure. Ensure each tier offers distinct value. The middle tier is often the most popular choice. Consider mixing and matching these models. For instance, you might offer consulting on an hourly basis but larger design projects on a fixed-fee basis. For more on structuring offers, see our guide on building compelling service packages. --- ## 5. Crafting Your Pricing Strategy: Factors to Consider Developing a pricing strategy involves balancing your internal needs, market realities, and the perceived value of your services. It's not a one-time decision but an ongoing process. ### Your Experience Level & Portfolio Power * Beginner (0-2 years experience): When starting, you might charge slightly less to build a portfolio and gain testimonials. Focus on gaining experience and delivering exceptional results. Your rates should still cover your costs and desired income, but you might prioritize volume over premium rates initially.

• Intermediate (2-5 years experience): With a solid portfolio and a few happy clients, you can steadily increase your rates. You've honed your skills and can deliver with more efficiency and confidence.
• Expert (5+ years experience & specialized skills): Your deep expertise, proven track record, and potentially unique niche allow you to command premium rates. Clients are paying for your specific knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and the assurance of quality. Portfolio Impact: A strong, professional portfolio is your most powerful pricing tool in fashion and beauty. High-quality work allows you to justify higher rates. Regularly update your online portfolio with your best projects and client testimonials. ### Project Complexity & Scope More complex projects naturally command higher prices.
• Number of deliverables: A single social media graphic vs. a complete brand guideline document.
• Research required: Trend forecasting for a new market versus fulfilling a standard styling request.
• Level of responsibility: Managing a full fashion photoshoot production versus just providing outfit selections.
• Timeline intensity: A rush job typically warrants a premium. If a client needs a beauty product launch campaign strategy developed in two weeks instead of two months, you should charge more for the expedited delivery and the stress involved. ### Client Budget & Industry As discussed in Section 2, a startup's budget for a fashion logo redesign will be vastly different from a global luxury brand's budget for the same service. Understand who you are working with. Pricing for a small Etsy shop owner looking for product photography will be different than pricing for a major cosmetics retailer. This doesn't mean you always price lower for smaller clients; it means you might offer different scopes of work or different packages that align with their budget. Example: For a small indie beauty brand, you might offer a "basic brand identity package" with a logo and color palette. For a larger brand, you might offer a "premium brand refresh" including logo, full brand guidelines, typography, packaging design, and social media templates. The solution for the smaller brand may still be valuable to them, but at a more accessible price point thanks to a more limited scope. ### Location of Client While you as a digital nomad are location-independent, the client's location can sometimes influence their budget and market rates. A client in New York City or Zurich might have a higher budget for a fashion consultant than one in a region with a lower cost of living. You can consider this when quoting, especially if you have a specific target audience. For some, pricing globally means averaging out, but for others, it means tailoring based on client geography. This is a strategic decision for your remote business. ### Urgency & Scarcity * Rush Fees: If a client needs something delivered quickly (e.g., a last-minute styling guide for an event, urgent edits on a beauty campaign video), always charge a rush fee. This compensates you for rescheduling other work, working overtime, or the added pressure. Clearly state your rush fee policy (e.g., 25-50% surcharge for projects needed within X days).
• Scarcity: If you have limited availability as a highly sought-after expert, this naturally allows you to charge more. Don't be afraid to say you're booked out for a few weeks; it actually increases your perceived value. --- ## 6. Communicating Your Rates & Proposals Presenting your prices confidently and professionally is just as important as setting them correctly. This is where many beginners falter, often leading to undervaluation. ### Be Confident & Articulate Your Value * Don't apologize for your rates. Your prices reflect your expertise, time, and the tangible value you provide.
• Frame value over cost: Instead of saying "My hourly rate is $X," say "For this project, you're investing in [specific benefits, e.g., a cohesive brand identity that attracts your target customers] which will result in [measurable outcomes, e.g., increased conversion rates, stronger market positioning]. The total investment for this transformation is $Y."
• Show, don't just tell: Use case studies, testimonials, and data from previous projects to demonstrate the positive impact of your work. For a fashion brand, show how your styling increased their product sales by Z%. For a beauty company, show how your social media management increased their engagement by A%. ### Creating Clear & Professional Proposals Your proposal is your opportunity to shine and justify your pricing. 1. Understand the Client's Needs: Before quoting, have a discovery call. Ask open-ended questions to genuinely understand their challenges, goals, and desired outcomes.

2. Recap the Project & Goals: Start your proposal by clearly outlining your understanding of the client's project, their pain points, and their objectives. This shows you were listening and are aligned.

3. Outline Scope of Work: Detail exactly what you will deliver, how, and when. Be specific. Services included: "Personalized wardrobe audit, 3 mood boards, 2 curated shopping lists, 1 virtual styling session." Number of revisions: "Includes 2 rounds of revisions on the mood board." Timeline: "Project completion within 4 weeks from contract signing." *Crucially, mention what is not included directly or indirectly:* "Product sourcing and purchase not included."

4. Present Your Solution & Value: Explain how your services will address their needs and achieve their goals. Connect your process to their desired outcomes.

5. Present the Investment: Clearly state the total project fee or package price. Breakdown (Optional but Recommended): For larger projects, break down the cost into phases or key deliverables. This makes a large number feel less intimidating and allows clients to see where their money is going. Payment Schedule: Clearly state when payments are due (e.g., "50% upfront, 25% upon mid-point approval, 25% upon final delivery").

6. Terms & Conditions: Include your standard terms regarding revisions, communication, intellectual property, confidentiality, and payment terms.

7. Next Steps: Clearly state what you want the client to do next (e.g., "Review and sign the attached contract," "Schedule a follow-up call"). Tip: Use professional proposal software or templates. Tools like HoneyBook, Dubsado, or Better Proposals can make your proposals look polished and simplify e-signatures. For more on client communication, read our article on effective communication strategies for remote teams. --- ## 7. Handling Negotiations and Objections Negotiating is a natural part of business. It doesn't mean your initial price was too high; it means the client is looking for a way to make it work for them. As a digital nomad, you might encounter diverse negotiation styles, so adaptability is key. ### Common Objections and How to Address Them "That's too expensive." / "I found someone cheaper." Response: "I understand price is a factor. Can you tell me what specific concerns you have about the investment? While you might find lower prices, my rates reflect [your experience, specialization, unique process, proven results]. What value are you seeking that a lower-priced option might not provide?" Actionable: Reiterate your unique value proposition. Highlight your past successes. If necessary, be prepared to adjust the scope* of work, rather than just lowering the price. "If budget is a concern, we could adjust the scope to [fewer deliverables, simpler design, fewer revisions] to fit your current needs, while still delivering significant value. How does that sound?"

• "I don't have the budget right now." Response: "I appreciate your honesty. What budget were you considering for this project? Understanding that might help me tailor a solution or timeline that works." Actionable: Explore payment plans (e.g., more installments), propose a smaller initial phase of work, or suggest revisiting the project at a later date when their budget allows. Don't be afraid to walk away if it's not a good fit; your time is valuable.
• "Can you do it faster?" Response: "I can certainly prioritize this to meet an earlier deadline, but that would require re-arranging my current schedule and potentially working overtime. My rush fee for delivery within [timeframe] is an additional [X%] of the total project cost. Would you like me to include that in the proposal?" Actionable: Always charge a rush fee. It compensates you for the disruption and pressure. ### When to Walk Away Not every client is the right client. If a client is:
• Consistently disrespecting your rates and value.
• Indicating a desire for significant scope creep without additional payment.
• Communicating poorly or being difficult to work with even before the project starts.
• Asking for free work or "exposure." Actionable: Politely decline or refer them to someone whose services might be a better fit for their budget or expectations. Walking away from a bad fit frees up your time for clients who truly value your work and are willing to pay for it. Trust your gut feeling. Your profitability and peace of mind as a digital nomad depend on it. For more negotiation tactics, read our blog on successful negotiation for freelancers. --- ## 8. Raising Your Rates: When and How Rate increases are a healthy and necessary part of growing your business as a professional. They reflect increased experience, improved skills, market demand, and potentially a higher cost of living if your nomad takes you to more expensive locales. ### When to Consider a Rate Increase: * Increased Experience & Skill Set: You've completed many projects, learned new techniques, or mastered specific software.
• Strong Portfolio & Testimonials: You have a collection of successful projects and glowing client reviews.
• High Demand: You're consistently booked out or turning away clients. This is a clear indicator that your services are in high demand and you can command more.
• Increased Value Proposition: You now solve bigger problems for clients or offer more specialized services (e.g., transitioning from general fashion content creation to specialized sustainable fashion journalism).
• Increased Business Costs: Your software subscriptions have gone up, you've invested in new equipment, or your cost of living has risen (e.g., moving from Chiang Mai to Dubai).
• It's Been a While: If you haven't raised your rates in 1-2 years, it's likely time. Inflation alone means stagnant rates are actually a pay cut. ### How to Implement a Rate Increase: 1. Gauge the Market (Again): Do some quick re-research to see if your new rates align with your experience level and the value you provide.

2. Decide on the Percentage: A typical increase might be 10-25%. Gradual increases are usually better than sudden, drastic jumps.

3. Inform Existing Clients Proactively: Give Notice: For ongoing retainer clients or long-term project clients, provide ample notice (e.g., 30-90 days). Be Professional, Not Apologetic: "Effective [date], my rates for new projects/renewed retainers will be increasing by [X%]. This adjustment allows me to continue investing in [skill development, tools, research] to provide you with the highest quality of service and reflect my increased experience in [area of expertise]." * Option for Existing Clients: You might offer existing, valuable clients the option to finish their current project at the old rate or lock in their current retainer for another 3-6 months before the new rates apply. This fosters loyalty.

4. Apply to New Clients Immediately: For all new inquiries after your decision, quote your new rates.

5. Update All Marketing Materials: Ensure your website, service packages, and proposal templates reflect the new pricing. Actionable Tip: Don't be afraid to raise your rates. It's a sign of growth and confidence. If you lose a client over a rate increase, it often means they weren't the right fit for your business in the long run. The clients who truly value your work will stay. Our article on scaling your freelance business has more on strategic growth. --- ## 9. Handling Payments & Financial Management for Nomads For digital nomads, payment processing and financial management add layers of complexity. You need systems that work globally, securely, and efficiently. ### Payment Methods Internationally Friendly Platforms: PayPal: Widely accepted, easy for clients, but can have higher fees for international transfers and currency conversions. Stripe: Excellent for accepting credit card payments directly on your website/invoices. Good for subscription/recurring payments. Supports many currencies. Wise (formerly TransferWise): Often has the lowest fees for international bank transfers. Great for receiving payments in different currencies and then converting to your home currency or holding them. Crucial for nomads moving between regions. * Payoneer: Good for freelancers and businesses, especially those working with international platforms. Offers payment requests and a prepaid debit card.

• Escrow Services: For large projects, consider using an escrow service to protect both you and the client. The payment is held by a third party until milestones are met.
• Bank Transfers: Can be good for large amounts, but international wires can be expensive and slow. ### Invoicing Best Practices Professional Invoices: Use clear, branded invoices that include: Your business name, address, and contact info (even if nomadic, have a professional address). Client's business name and address. Invoice number and date. Detailed description of services rendered or products supplied. Quantity and rate. Total amount due. Payment terms (e.g., "Net 30," "Due upon receipt"). Accepted payment methods and instructions (e.g., "Pay via Stripe link here," "Wise details below"). Late payment policy (e.g., "5% fee for payments overdue by 15 days").
• Automation: Use invoicing software (like FreshBooks, QuickBooks, Xero) to automate invoice generation, reminders, and payment tracking.
• Advance Payments/Deposits: Always require an upfront deposit (e.g., 25-50%) before starting any significant project. This protects you and ensures client commitment. ### Tax Considerations for Digital Nomads This is perhaps the most complex aspect of nomadic finances.
• Tax Residency: Your tax residency often depends on where you spend the most time, your domicile, and where your "center of vital interests" lies. This impacts where you legally owe income tax. This can change as you travel to different digital nomad friendly countries.
• Local vs. Home Country Taxes: You might still be liable for taxes in your home country even if you're living abroad. Some countries have agreements to prevent double taxation.
• Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE): If you're a US citizen, the FEIE can reduce your taxable income earned abroad.
• VAT/GST: If you're selling digital services to clients in countries with VAT or GST, you might be required to register and collect these taxes.
• Professional Advice: Crucially, consult with a tax professional who specializes in international taxation for digital nomads. Tax laws are complex and vary greatly by country. This is an investment, not an expense. This platform cannot provide tax advice. Actionable Tip: Keep meticulous records of all income and expenses. Use accounting software from day one. Separate your business and personal finances. This will simplify tax time and give you a clear picture of your profitability.

Trends shift, technology advances, and economic conditions change. Your pricing strategy should not be static; it needs to adapt. ### Staying Ahead of Trends * Industry News: Regularly read industry publications, blogs, and trend reports (e.g., WGSN for fashion, NPD for beauty).
• Social Listening: Monitor social media for emerging influencers, new brands, and changing consumer behaviors.
• New Technologies: Learn new software or techniques relevant to your niche (e.g., AI in design, VR for virtual try-ons, advanced digital marketing tools). If you're a remote stylist, staying updated on sustainable fashion brands and ethical sourcing practices is crucial. If you're a remote beauty consultant, understanding new ingredient science is key. ### Honing Your Skills * Online Courses: Invest in MOOCs or specialized courses to deepen your expertise (e.g., a course on advanced Photoshop techniques, a certification in sustainable design, a masterclass in beauty photography).
• Mentorship: Seek out mentors in your field who can provide guidance and feedback.
• Practice, Practice, Practice: Continually work on personal projects
