You added the hours and took every piece that came in so the money wouldn't dry up, and you figured once you felt good enough you'd raise the prices. The number's still stuck where it's been for a while.

That's the belief that to make more you have to work more, and it's the one that keeps people stuck for years.

More hours just buys you more of the same work at the same rate. The income's tied to your pricing and what's on your calendar, not to how hard you're going at it.

The number moves when you charge more for the work you're already doing, not when you add another day to the week.

Saying that is the easy part. Raising the rate when your calendar already feels too full to risk anything is the part that's hard to do on your own, and it's the part we'd start with.
