“When Should I Raise My Prices?”

This is a question I get asked a lot, and the simple answer is to raise them whenever you want (it’s your business, after all!). You don’t need a new certification. You don’t need 2 more years of experience. You don’t need to build a new website. And you certainly don’t need approval from anyone. As Nike says, “Just do...
