Compensation vs Credit

I've been extremely busy lately which is why I've been MIA from the blog lately ! :(
But it's been a good kind of busy. I've been partnering on two major projects. They have really been rewarding. I am getting great exposure because both clients are well-known and successful. One is a professional athlete and the other is a clothing designer. So the experience has been invaluable as well.

The reality is though, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN PAID. At least not yet, anyway. The work is being done for a good friend of mine who really has great connections. So, I figure that although I may not be getting a paycheck yet, I can use this experience to leverage future business partnerships...that WILL pay off.

I am thinking this is a good idea....but I want to make sure that I am not being used in the process. Has anyone faced this situation before? If so, how did you handle it?

Watch The Promises

HELLO LADIES,

ONCE AGAIN LADIES YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR FALSE PROMISES, I WAS APPROACHED BY A SALESPERSON THAT SAID HE WOULD GIVE ME A DEAL ON A COMPUTER POS SYSTEM, BUT BY SPEAKING TO HIM AND TALKING ABOUT THE SYSTEM ITSELF, I SOON FOUND OUT THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THE SYSTEM HE WAS TRYING TO SELL ME, SO I WENT WITH MY GUT REACTION TO CHECK HIM OUT, I LOVE THE BBB THEY PROVIDED ME WITH SO MUCH INFORMATION ON THIS PERSON, SO PLEASE LOOK OUT WHEN PURCHASING OR LEASING EQUIPMENT.
