This is a great question! I have discussed this problem with many of my clients who are new entrepreneurs. You must be able to separate friendships with business relationships. Do not confuse the two.
You shouldn't feel guilty about quoting reasonable prices to clients of yours who are also your friends. If you don't value your time, no one else will, either. The way you have to look at it is this - if these people do not value the thing that they are asking you for enough to pay you for it, than you shouldn't either.
As a business owner, this is your livelihood. No true friend would ask you to take food off of your family's table. I wish you luck!

I am struggling with running my own business, because most of my customers are also my friends. They keep asking me to do things for them for free, and I feel guilty telling them no. How do I juggle being a business owner with being a good friend?
