Self-employed does not mean unprofessional.
I saw about seven friends post this on Facebook, and it rings so true for those who are self-employed. It's been kind of a running joke in the free-lance world for a long time. It's like when stand-up comedians tell the story about when people meet them, they want them to tell a joke or "say something funny."
With respect to all clients, past and future, being self-employed is difficult. It becomes even more difficult if our efforts as artists are treated as flea-market bargains or swap-meet negotiations. I urge all clients (for the benefit of all who are self-employed and your own good) to watch this video. It presents our dilemma clearly, and in a humorous way.
