Say you’ve been undercharging. You know it.

You should be at $200/hour. You’re at $80/hour. The work is the same. The results are the same. The clients would pay it. Your peers charge it.

You don’t.

You write the new pricing into a draft email. You don’t send it. You think about raising it next q...

You woke up. Reached for the phone. Checked it. Knew you shouldn’t have. Did it anyway.

Made coffee a specific way. Same as yesterday. Same as last year.

You’ve read the books.

You bought another one last month. Saved a podcast list. Followed three more “experts” on LinkedIn. Bookmarked four threads.
