On this week's episode Bradley shares his experience of turning a $5,000 budget into a $20,000 project and subsequently closing a retainer, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and valuing one's expertise. Bradley discusses techniques for negotiating higher rates and securing long-term partnerships, with a focus on delivering value beyond the client's initial scope. We delve further into strategies for managing scope creep in project-based work. Bradley emphasizes the significance of integrity in business, particularly the ability to say no to projects that do not align with one's value or expertise, and the long-term benefits of attracting clients who appreciate and compensate for true value.
