This week’s show:

Pricing your services accurately, quoting projects, and confidently having “the money talk” with your clients are vital parts of your business.

But, maybe you don’t know how much you should charge — or even what you’re “worth” . . .

Or you choke when the topic of money comes up with a client and you end up settling for whatever they’re willing to offer — which is usually a lot less than what you’d like . . .

These are common, costly problems. And when you’re dealing with them your business isn’t as productive, profitable, or FUN as it should be.

In this episode of Just Add Hustle, Ilise Benun reveals her strategies for controlling your financial destiny as a freelancer.
