Why I turned down a global brand 😓 Correction: They ghosted me after I called them out on their BS contract. I was ecstatic when this major brand reached out to partner. I seriously couldn’t believe I was going to work with such a huge company that I love and use often. I felt like I had “made it”. We agreed upon a price and deliverables and they sent me over the contract. I read it over and my stomach sank. I had never seen a contract like that before. They basically wanted me to sign my life away and they certainly were not going to pay enough for it. Although I clearly knew they were taking advantage of me, it still took a lot of guts to stick up for myself. -“What if I say something and they don’t want to work with me anymore.” -“What if I blow my chances forever.” -“But it would look so great to have on my media kit.” -“If I work with a brand like this, people will know I’m legit.” Thankfully, I did not let these fears stop me. I sent them an email back with everything I wanted changed and the additional payments I would need to receive. Crickets. And I’m okay with that. I stuck with my morals and didn’t let them take advantage of me or my services. It’s time like these that I am so happy that I do not rely solely on brand deals. I am grateful that have I built other sources of income that allow me to be super picky about the brands and companies I work with. Follow your gut, know your worth, and when things don’t work out, trust that something better will be coming your way ❤️.
