The 3 Pricing Mistakes Keeping You Overworked & Underpaid

from Creative Courage: The Creative Business Podcast · host Matt Essam

Have you ever been asked for a discount for your services? Do you ever deal with micromanaging clients who just won’t let you get on and be creative?

These are the most common mistakes I see creative business owners make. And it’s costing them their time, money and sanity. I’ve worked with clients who, after fixing these mistakes, have managed to double, triple and even 10x their revenue, without doing 10 times the work. If you want to start attracting clients who respect you, value your work and pay you what you deserve, this episode will show you how. Covered in this episode: The three pricing mistakes that many creatives are making. Why you keep attracting the wrong clients. How to raise your prices without losing deals. A mindset shift that will help you stop undercharging. Quick tweaks that can lead to huge wins.
