Hi, I am Marielle Dizon and this is Invoice Due Friday, a show for people who work for themselves and sometimes lie awake at night wondering if they charged enough. Today we are talking about the rate card you are afraid to send. I remember sitting in a cafe in Cebu nine years ago with a quote open on my laptop, deleting a zero, adding it back, deleting it again. I sent the lower number. I regretted it for two years. So this episode is everything I have learned since then. How to work out a rate from the life you want rather than from fear. When hourly protects you and when it punishes you. And the exact email I now send when I raise my prices, including the one time a client in Dubai said yes to double without blinking. Grab your calculator. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
