Ever get excited about a potential client—until they see your price?

Suddenly they’re “thinking about it,” asking if you offer discounts, or worse…ghosting completely. And you start second-guessing yourself:
Should I lower my price? Offer a deal? Just say yes to get the sale?

Let me stop you right there. Because lowering your price isn’t helping you—it’s hurting you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the hidden psychology behind premium pricing, why discounting repels your best clients, and how to confidently charge what you’re worth without flinching.
