What happens is the market dictates your pricing based on how good you're getting, the results you're getting, and what the world says you're worth. compared to the metrics of everyone else that's offering the same service, right?

The market has said Chanel's worth 10 to 15 and Birkin's worth 20 to 40. And so... You have to listen as a young entrepreneur to what your market demand is for you.

But, you know, I meet so many young entrepreneurs who want to just, you know, oh, well, I'm just going to charge this much, and I'll take on these clients, and they have this whole business plan as if they've done it for 20 years.
