๐Ÿ’ธ 2. Free Workshop Friday - โ€œHow To Charge More In 2026โ€โ€‹

I taught this workshop last week and it blew peopleโ€™s minds.

So Iโ€™m going to run it back one more time.

We covered:

โœ… The surprising trend Iโ€™m seeing in the market going into 2026 (based on my work with high-level clients)

โœ… What my high-level clients are doing to close $10k-$250k deals, right now!

โœ… The 4 steps to structure your business to charge way more in 2026

โ€‹If you'd like to attend, you can register for free here.โ€‹

Iโ€™ll also give you a special opportunity to join us for ๐Ÿ’ธ How To Charge More Cohort 2.

P.S. Here is some of the feedback from last weekโ€™s attendees:

โ€œI have been hyped by too many webinars that failed to deliver - yours was the opposite. I got more than I ever thought I would. I was ready to hear the expertise and experience you had to say. Thank you!โ€ - Arthur

โ€œThank you for all this valuable information Rich!! ๐Ÿ”ฅโ€ - Ken

โ€œThanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and clear steps, Rich! Really appreciate it ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโ€ - Diederick

๐Ÿ’ธ 3. How To Charge More Cohort 2 - Program Starts MONDAY!โ€‹

๐Ÿ“Œ And since weโ€™re talking about charging more moneyโ€ฆ

Enrollment for ๐Ÿ’ธHow To Charge More Cohort 2 is in full swing.

Weโ€™ve already got an incredible crew of new and returning students joining us for the next cohort.

Over the 4 week program, youโ€™ll:

๐Ÿ’ธ Raise the price of your offer OR launch a brand new high-price, high-value offer ($10k minimum)

โ˜บ๏ธ Lose the fear of charging more and unlearn the limiting beliefs blocking you from higher prices.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Attract better clients who value your expertise and happily pay for it.

๐Ÿค Sell with confidence, knowing exactly what to say, how to say it, and what your work is truly worth.

The course starts Monday, May 4th, so if youโ€™re considering joining us, nowโ€™s the time!

๐Ÿ“ˆ 4. Article I Enjoyed - The Mathematical Reason Most People Never "Make Itโ€โ€‹

Interesting Substack article on Priceโ€™s Law:

โ€œPriceโ€™s Law states that the square root of the number of people in a domain does 50% of the work.

Hereโ€™s what that looks like in practice:

  • In a company with 100 employees, 10 people produce half the output
  • In a field with 10,000 scientists, 100 produce half the meaningful research
  • On a team of 25, 5 people carry the entire operationโ€

What does that mean for your life and business?

๐Ÿ“˜ Book Iโ€™m Reading - Creative Mind and Success by Ernest S. Holmes (1919)โ€‹

๐Ÿ’ฌ Quote Iโ€™m Ponderingโ€ฆ

โ€œA tree grows taller to the degree that its roots go deeper and wider. If we wish to jump high, we must first bend close to the ground to get the impetus for the spring. Like a jet engine, we move forward by thrusting backward. In therapy each backward move provides the energy for the leap forward. Regression and progression go on side by side.โ€
- Alexander Lowen, Fear of Life: The Wisdom of Failureโ€‹
