April 27, 2018 — No one wake up in the morning and says, “Today is a great day for a new WordPRess site.” (Well, other than us…) Most people need and/or want a new website because something is inherently broken. When you learn that the business of WordPress is not about WordPress you will be light years ahead of competition. (Almost) Anyone can build a Website that looks great, but does it work and will it solve the business challenges at hand.

April 27, 2018 — Freelancers and agency owners, does this sound familiar? You don’t have enough money to pay your bills. You have a few clients, but you’re rushing projects and doing less than your best work because you don’t have enough time to find new work AND complete the projects to which you’re already committed at the same time. As much as you’d like to charge more for your work, nobody takes you seriously because you’ve only done small, cheap projects so far.

This is what happens when you accept the wrong clients. Most of us think we have to start at the bottom with low paying jobs and work our way to the top, yet that approach leaves us broke and stuck. In this session, we’ll talk about which clients you should turn down, which you should target, and how to command twice your current rate without needing an impressive portfolio.
