Why is this course so expensive?
What is one new client worth to you? How much money have you left on the table because you were afraid to ask or didn’t know how to value your work? What else could you do if had a little more help to produce the work you currently get? The cost of the course pales in comparison to the value of the knowledge you will gain.
