Pricing. Setting prices is grabbing numbers and making them up. You've been taught "formulas" for it, yet, at the end of the day, they're still made up. Or is there a specific reason that you ought to make X% because "that's the standard"? Now, while all of what your customers pay you are made up numbers, the approach to it is what makes them different.

The Transformation: Thinking bigger for them. The Output: Fitting into what they could afford. The Middle-Point: something that you both could co-create.
You're on a mission to help, aren't you? Giving options lets you do that at different levels. The first one you can try is free. For free? Yes and No. To help for free, yes. To work for free, no. If they can't afford you, this is how you can support them. You can help by sharing what you think and how you see things from a general POV. A perspective. It's not specific to their case, yet it's a good starting point to see what they could do by themselves —or how to get help elsewhere with a...
