Have you heard the saying that you should charge what you are worth? I disagree. Your pricing does not reflect your worth as a person. And just because someone else has lower or higher prices than you, does not mean they are worth any more or any less. Pricing is one of the questions I’m asked the most from my students - and it can really get us stumped. And many of us are chronic underchargers! Here’s a small part of a recent Money & Pricing Masterclass I ran for my students inside The Modern...
