I show my portfolio on several different websites and I tend to include my best, my very best and the passable, leaving out only those pieces that are absolute rubbish.

When I quote a price for my work which I think is fair based on what it takes to produce my best work, the clients tend to walk away.

Maybe I’ll leave everything out of my portfolio but the very best pieces and see what happens…

Your videos just force us to think beyond our comfort zone. Love your blog. 😀

I really appreciate the time you took to reply. And I did get something out of it.

Finding a price for an info product I’m creating is tricky. I see what everyone else charges (although I think I provide more value than what I see out there….don’t we all). ..I’m having difficulty determining what that “sweet spot” is.

Your mentioning of the limiting factor resognated well and I see the idea of a lower price point being the way to go.

Thanks again

I enjoyed the video snapshot, and would like a link to the original article if possible. Thanks!

When I personally see a 5 star pool and a 3 star restaurant, I might think that the restaurant sucks, in contrast to the pool. If you get rid of the 3 stars, I might think the restaurant must be as good because of the 5 stars pool. I’m not a psychologist, but it dous sounds very logical to me, haha.

Again, great video Derek! Great you keep the videos not too serious, makes it more fun to watch. Keep up the great work!

I’ve just decided this morning that my new business strategy is GET SMALL! No, I’m not downsizing or going into semi-retirement. I am however going to take a fine tooth comb to my products and services and choose what is 5*, and anything I’d like to develop to 5* in the future and focus on making those even better than they are now. The rest can go. I’m polishing them up, making sure my presentation and marketing really reflect the value that’s in those products. Because right now, I think people are sitting in my 3* restaurant, peering out the window and saying … is that a 5* pool out there? I didn’t even know this hotel had a pool!!

Thanks Derek, for another cool and powerful nudge in the right direction.

However, I’m concerned that this advice could so easily lead to people listing unusually great outcomes as selling points, when in fact most of their clients get very minimal or poor results. It’s as if the advice is to list the outlier results, not the norm.
What would you say to that?
Thank you.
