#354: Why Perfectionism Is Killing Your Income—The $92/hr vs. $462/hr Problem


Listen Later

Creatives LOVE making things "perfect".

We obsess over the tiny details, tweak endlessly, and burn hours and hours and hours... and hours trying to craft the "perfect" final product for our clients.

But here’s what sucks: Perfectionism is keeping you broke.

Spending 40 hours on something that should take 8? That’s the difference between making $92/hr and $462/hr.

The most successful freelancers aren’t the ones who make things perfect. They’re the ones who get things done efficiently - without sacrificing quality.

In this episode, I break down:

  • How to go from $92/hour to $462/hour—without working harder or cutting corners.
  • How to spot inefficiencies in your workflow—and fix them without lowering the quality of your work.
  • Simple strategies to work faster, charge smarter, and win more gigs—so you can finally stop feeling overworked and underpaid.
  • If you're tired of working longer hours for less money, this one's for you.
