“Increase your prices. Come up with a better offer for your clients. Whatever you're selling right now, at least 20% of your clients will pay for a better, bigger, faster, shinier, more expensive version of it. If you're not offering that, you're leaving a lot of money on the table. Just take what you do now, make it better, make it stronger, and charge more for it.”
