I’m lowering my prices for 2012.  Why?

A long time ago, I remember paying a consultant for one hour of help what it took me 2 days to earn.  It didn’t feel right and ultimately made me feel resentful.

In this very-slowly-improving economy, most of my clients are struggling to get clients and make ends meet.  I have decided to take the unusual move of lowering my prices for 2012.  Why?  So I can continue to do the work I love and my clients can continue to get the help they need.

I believe when times are hard we need to think less as an individual and more as a community.  My target clients need help right now and most of them can’t afford $150 per hour for a session – which is what I used to charge. So with that in mind – please look at my new pricing for 2012!
