Valuing Your Services

Friday, July 10th, 2009

This is more of a quick update than anything else on the topic I’ve been covering this week.  I’ve already raised my consulting fees and most of the services I offer along with my colleagues at Enliven Group, and most everyone so far has ponied up.  This means that my strategy to free up my [...]

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Due to the forward nature of a few of my last posts I have received some emails from people that are concerned that I won’t be available to consult with them when they need it. My response is simple. I will IF the price is right. That isn’t so hard to understand, is it? I’ve [...]

In 2002 a Stephen Spielberg film starring Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio called Catch Me If You Can was released into theaters.
