QUOTABLES:

“On the other end of that email is an actual human being that has wants, that has needs, that has desires, that has a boss, that is wanting to make sure that they hit their goals and their targets. So if you can make that person's life easier, if you can help that person do a good job for their company and their boss, they're gonna want to work with you time and time again and happily pay you for that.” - Julie Solomon 

“I always say to my students, whatever you think you need to charge, double it, and then we'll start from there.” - Julie Solomon

“If you're throwing a number out and someone is immediately saying yes to you, you're undervaluing yourself and you're underpricing what it is.” - Julie Solomon
