Keith shares how he learned to value himself, raise his prices, and improve his business. He stresses the importance of creating a business structure and setting a minimum for undertaking jobs to ensure a suitable profit margin.

Key Takeaways "If you are excited, you're worthy. If you're depressed, you're still worthy. If your business sucks right now, and you're not making any profit, you're still worthy. You are totally worthy. It's a miracle that we're all here right now in this room. You've seen the videos on YouTube and how it's scientifically incalculable and it's impossible. They can't even, they just keep coming back, they're like, Wow, there must be a God or a higher divine intelligence. Because it's impossible that we're all here right now in this moment. It is actually mathematically impossible. So that means that you must be completely worthy. No matter what the story is going on in your head." - Keith
