Why Is Charging $1 Infinitely Better Than Charging $0?

Getting someone to pay anything is infinitely better than getting them to pay nothing:

  • Don’t ask customers what they’d pay – ask what they currently spend solving this problem or what they’ll save by solving it.
  • Learn how your customers budget and buy – their purchasing process will influence your pricing strategy and business model.
  • Start simple but aim high – most startups undercharge, so consider doubling your price to see what happens (you’ll likely be surprised).

What are The Dangerous Myths of “Successful” People?

Success often looks messy behind the scenes – even high achievers struggle with doubts, procrastination and anxiety.

  • Focus on one important task per day: block 2-3 solid hours for your most vital work instead of juggling many tasks poorly
  • Judge tasks by impact, not volume: being busy usually means avoiding the few uncomfortable but crucial actions that really matter
  • Remember everyone struggles: successful people aren’t superheroes, they just do big things despite their self-defeating habits and doubts
