7 Signs Your Business Owns You (Not the Other Way Round)

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

You’ve hit an income plateau and it’s time to level up 👇🏻

You get to the end of every month feeling tired, frustrated and poor, wondering where all the money went.
You constantly chase new clients, sitting through endless “free consultations” only to get ghosted, never knowing where the next deal is coming from.
When Monday rolls around, you feel dread instead of excitement. You built this business for freedom, but it feels more like a job you can’t quit.
You’re charging by the hour, which means the only way to earn more is to work more. There’s a ceiling on your income and you’ve hit it.
You discount the moment a client hesitates, because losing the deal feels scarier than working for less than you’re worth.
You haven’t taken a proper holiday in years, because the business stops when you stop.
You’re busier than ever but your bank balance doesn’t show it. Turnover is up, profit isn’t.

Here’s the truth: none of this is a hustle problem. It’s a pricing problem.

Fix your pricing and you fix the plateau, the client chasing, and the Monday dread in one go.

👉🏻 Drop me a REPLY with the word “GUIDE” and I’ll send you my full interactive guide to charging what you’re actually worth.

Stay Fearless!

How I lost £1,500 in four minutes!

Hey Reader, Years ago, when I was running my agency, I wrote a proposal for a new website. I'd done the sums. The right price was £4,000. I typed it in. Looked at it. Felt a bit sick. Then I deleted it and typed £2,500. The client replied four minutes later. "Brilliant. When can you start?" For about ten seconds that felt like a win. Then it sank in. Nobody says yes that fast to a price that's too high. I'd just given away £1,500 because I was scared of one word: no. Here's what that fear...

Here is one of my biggest mistakes with pricing from 22 years in business!

Hey Reader, For years, I scratched my head at the end of every month wondering where all the money was. Truth be told I was arrogant and naive and never took any advice. Until we were forced into a corner by the ensuing financial crisis in 2008. And that's when it all changed. My business partner, Caleb, and I had several stand up rows about our prices. We were watching all out competitors drop their prices to compete over the scraps in the web hosting space. I knew we had to to raise them...
