Most freelance designers know they should be charging more but struggle to actually raise their rates. In this episode, I am breaking down why that happens and what you can do to change it. It is not your portfolio, your market, or the economy. It is your mindset. I will show you how to shift your thinking around money, attract high-value clients, and start pricing design services with confidence.

Whether you are a freelance designer, a brand and web designer, or a design business owner growing into your role as a creative CEO, this episode will help you understand what is really behind your hesitation to charge more and how to move past it.

You will learn:

Why designers undercharge and how to stop doing it
How to think like a business owner, not just a designer
The mindset shift that turns $2K projects into $20K ones
How to price your design services based on value, not fear

Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to shift the way you think about money, confidence, and the value of your work.
