Breaking the Time Barrier

In order to be successful, all business owners have to carefully consider how to price the goods and services they offer. This is especially true for freelance creatives, who often choose to bill for sevices by the hour. But a new ebook called Breaking the Time Barrier: How to Unlock Your True Earning Potential by Mike McDerment and Donald Cowper offers a different strategy. Instead of billing by the hour, they suggest setting fixed fees based on the value of services. According to the authors, this can eliminate the inherent conflict of interest in hourly rates, and open up many benefits for finding and keeping high-value client relationships.

 

Break the Time Barrier: How to unlock your true earning potential

Readers of Breaking the Time Barrier will learn how to…

– Price based on value, not an hourly rate

– Find clients who understand your value

– Position your services with more success

– Work smarter and more cost effectively

– Increase your income

And in an ironic twist, this book about pricing your work comes without a pricetag of its own. You can download the complete ebook (70 page PDF) and name your own price at breakingthetimebarrier.freshbooks.com
