But while you can’t control the broader economy, you can control your pricing, positioning, and profit strategy.In this episode, we’re diving into how to price confidently when fear starts creeping in—what to say “no” to, how to protect your value, and why lowering your rates is the last thing you should do.IN THIS EPISODE:Why discounting during an economic downturn actually hurts your businessThe pricing models that protect your profit (and which to use when)How to communicate your value without competing on priceWhy “Designer for a Day” and full service can both thrive—when you position them rightHow cash reserves and confidence change your business decisionsThe three C’s of a resilient design business: Clarity, Consistency, and Confidence When the market wobbles, fear can take over.
