017 WHY CHARGING LOW FEES WILL GIVE YOU EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS (AND OVERBEARING CLIENTS)


Listen Later

Every architect knows that moment — when a client looks you and says,

“Your fee is too high… I can't pay this!”

It feels like a small compromise, a harmless adjustment to secure the job. But that’s often where the real problem begins. Because when you lower your fee to please a client, you don’t just reduce your price — you reduce your power.

In this episode of The SILL TALKS Podcast, Arc. Egbeiyon Leonard, shares raw, real, and hard-earned lessons from practice — about how charging low fees often attracts overbearing clients, drains your confidence, and keeps you stuck in survival mode instead of growth.

He breaks down:
 ✅ Why lowering your fee doesn’t make clients value you more — it makes them question you.
 ✅ The hidden cost of “cheap” projects that steal your time, peace, and creativity.
 ✅ Practical ways to shift from survival pricing to value-based confidence.
 ✅ Why having fewer, well-paying clients leads to deeper trust and lasting respect.

This isn’t just a conversation about money — it’s about self-worth, boundaries, and building a practice that reflects your true value.

🎧 Tune in now, and remind yourself:

You’re not charging high — you’re charging your worth.
You’re not expensive — you’re Valuable.
