How to Price for Profit (most get this wrong)

So you’re pricing a new job… 

But you’re not really sure the best way to go about it… 

Do you start with markup? 

Or was it margins? 

(What’s the difference again?) 

Should you look at hourly rates? 

Weekly? Monthly? 

Consider all the materials involved? 

Maybe mash that all together? 

Or if that’s all too complicated… 

Just resort to the ol’ tried and true ‘PAFOOMA’ method? 

Y’know… 

Pull A Figure Out Of My Ass? 

Unless you’re happy running a charity....

You want your pricing to make you decent profit, so you can grow and scale your business, and have the money, time and freedom to live the life you want.  

But to do this, there’s one financial metric you’ve got to understand…
