💡 Rate Setting Tips
- Don't forget unbillable time: Admin, marketing, proposals typically take 30-40% of your time
- Add value-based pricing: This is your minimum. Charge more for specialized skills or urgent projects
- Consider your market: Research competitor rates in your niche and location
- Build in growth: Add 10-20% buffer for business development and skill improvement
- Package your services: Consider project-based or retainer pricing for better margins
