On Raising Fees and what keeps people undercharging…
According to Jason, mindset and self image is only part of the picture. It is also about consciously choosing clients who value what you do too. Jason admits taking on clients who were not aligned with him and this is one of the factors that kept him from raising his prices.
After signing on with less-than-ideal clients, he saw that the sheen of money wore off. He became resentful about charging less than he wanted to. This prompted him to take a step back from working with clients and started writing a daily email about working with clients (“The Client Letter”). He watched as this System evolved over time. It didn’t create profit immediately but allowed him to build a relationship with his target market. People seek him now.
For Jason, this has been a process of knowing what he wanted in his life firstly. This then dictated how he created his way of serving his target market. Moral of the story: Design your life before your strategy.
