Alex Hayes Pricing Confidence: Why Independent Professionals Undercharge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alex Hayes, president of Boost Pricing, says independent professionals undercharge from fear of losing the relationship. Alex trains sales teams at Boost Pricing to win deals at higher prices and hold that price when the buyer pushes back. She explains why solo practitioners cave: discounting is the easiest lever to pull, and a 5 per cent cut comes off profit, not revenue, so one handshake can erase a quarter of the year's margin. She describes lifting her own team's net margin fr...
Krystal Hille Expert Positioning: The Book That Makes Your Expertise Visible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Krystal Hille, founder of Hille House Publishing, helps experienced professionals turn expert positioning into a book. A former theatre director, she reads authors the way she once read actors, through the body, the breath and the story. She explains how she draws out an author's onlyness, the one thing only they can write, through the void to value exercise and stream-of-consciousness prompts, and how she maps authors to the four elements of earth, water, fire and air. She also t...

Sarah explains why what got you to six figures will bankrupt you at seven: the moment the business outgrows one...

Read excerpt
Liz Micik shows independent professionals what AI agents see when they read a website, after 28 years fixing broken ones.

The free Signal Check at lizmicik.com/signal-check asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini about your business three times each; Nigel scored +24, with 14 checkable facts from Perplexity and none from Claude. Liz explains why schema now matters for a ...
Kay Sargent Space and Cognition: Workspaces for Independent Professionals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kay Sargent makes the case that your workspace is part of your cognition, not a backdrop to it. Kay leads neuroinclusive design at global firm HOK and wrote Designing Neuroinclusive Workplaces (Wiley). Her framework — six modalities of work, each needing a higher-stimulation and a lower-stimulation version — gives independent professionals a practical way to set up a home office that supports their best thinking rather than taxing it. She also explains the "pureeing problem"...
