This is great. Setting boundaries really resonated with me. I found myself having greater success as I narrowed my service offering and became comfortable telling people that I wasn't the right fit for them. Thank you for reminding me.

I come back to this every so often because it is similar to the advice I give folks...and when I need to hear it for myself, I have your wise words.

Returned to this again 9 months into setting out on my own. Such helpful advice, thank you. Different parts resonates when you're a bit further down the line. I find pricing in particular such a minefield.

Amazing and generous advice. You’ve shared the complete framework most would charge to reveal. Brilliant providing the value to all. Thank you! For me you have especially reinforced my thoughts on pay rates although others I sought advice from thought too high. I knew the value is here. Thank you for seeing me.
