Summary
The clients who pay you the least are costing you the most. I know that sounds backwards — but after 16 years of building businesses and coaching hundreds of entrepreneurs, I can tell you with absolute certainty: your low prices are not protecting you. They're slowly destroying your business. Now, most people think the solution is simple — just charge more so you can make more money. And yes, that's true.

There are four other reasons your cheap prices are killing your business that have nothing to do with your bank account. And today I'm going to show you exactly what they are.
