Default Doing Paid /Commission Sewing/Quilting for Others

I prefer not to -

For several reasons -

1) I am slow and I dislike deadlines
2) I am afraid of messing up someone else's thing
3) People are unwilling to pay even "minimum wage" for the time I have invested
4) I worry about other people being even more persnickety than I am

(I have seen some work that would be "okay" for someone just learning/starting - but I would be embarrassed to the moon and back to offer it "for hire".)
If someone chooses to pay me for something that I have already made - I do not fret.

For those of you that do work on/for comnmission - how did you overcome your hurdles?

When/How did you decide you were good enough, fast enough, etc?

And have you found people to be willing to pay "adequately" for your skill, time, and materials?
