I really struggle with family time vs. work time, because I love my family and I also love my work. Seth said in the podcast, to triple my prices. It isn’t really a takeaway, but interesting idea: will I work less if I earn much more?

Troy, the fact that you got Seth on is impressive. That Kristina was so star struck was great. And the fact that Seth can waltz in to WP Elevation and drop his bombs on us as a group of web developers is mindbending. Plus his advice is so simple. “My product is for people who believe blank, I want to focus on people who want blank. And I promise that engaging with me will help you get blank.” Stop undercutting your own worth, by doing websites for buttons. Find people with the funds, who want what you have to offer.

That episode with Kristina and Seth is powerful… here are the gems for me:

1. You need to sell stuff to people who have money to pay for it.

2. Scaling impact doesn’t need to mean reaching a WIDER audience. You could just go DEEPER with your existing audience.

3. “The first rule of Fight Club is to tell everyone about Fight Club”… meaning get your current clients to bring in any new clients.

The latter has prompted me to finally get our “We are The Good Alliance” badges out into the hands of our clients. Watch this space!

For me the biggest impact was the whole not.pricing by the hour. I have a tendency to default to that when pricing a job.

Nice episode. Went back and watched Episode 91 with Kristina and Seth – – Great stuff. I especially appreciated this bit from Seth, “The word, ‘more’ is a four letter word that I would think very hard before using. Why is more people better than impacting the people you’ve currently got with greater impact?…the idea of deeper rather than wider is compelling.”
