Questions this episode answers
Frequently asked questions
How do I stay steady when everything feels out of control?
Focus on what you control. The hosts say every time you show up for a client you prove your value, and the anchor is knowing your numbers and finding clarity, then your next step, rather than what you cannot control.
How do I protect the business without discounting?
Fix your pricing and coach your team. The hosts say you cannot run a sustainable business on pricing that does not even break even, and the goal is to keep the A and B clients who respect you by offering solutions within a client's budget instead of cutting your price.
