Am I worth more than you?
by
Pricing is super hard. Today’s question comes from Talasan. While reading my book he realized that I charge almost double what he does. Does that make me worth more? See his portfolio http://nicholsonws.com/ Ask me more questions… https://curtismchale.ca/ama
How I watched my 2 year old learn about exclusion
by
Early in September on what turned out to be one of the last amazing weather weekends of the summer my family and I went camping. My 2 year old daughter got to use her Disney Princess sleeping bag and had half of a 6 man tent to herself. It was totally awesome. She got to…
What Billing Software to use?
by
What billing software I use (or what I recommend) is a question I get all the time. Currently I use Ronin and it’s pretty good. I’ve got a full review in the works that will highlight my loves and hates with Ronin in the next few weeks. Update October 2, 2013: Ronin was purchased by…
How safe is your business from your spending habits?
by
The new iPhone launched last week and like many of you I’m excited to get it. I’m still on an iPhone 4 (stupid 3 year contracts in Canada) which is a bit slow and getting long in the tooth. I really notice the speed when I have to do something on my wife’s 4s. Despite…
Meet Radium – I like chocolate in my ears

Today I want to focus on one of the questions that came up during the discussion. I was in an accountability…
Credit Cards and a different world
by
Whenever I bring up the subject of finances I start talking about Credit Cards. Almost the only point that people ever get stuck on is that I say credit cards are a stupid idea. Somehow I manage to talk to (daily) the few percentage of people who don’t spend more because they use a credit…
3 stubborn days of pain
by
It was a Tuesday and I’d been fighting a headache since Saturday. I’m not the type to just take a pill at the drop of a hat. Not trying to be tough I just think that we too easily reach for medication to sort out issues that are trivial. Well that Tuesday I mentioned the…
Sure you’re fast but that doesn’t mean you charge less
by
I was talking to a fairly new freelancer (running for about a year) about pricing recently. Let’s be honest pricing is super hard. I’ve been at this for 5 years (4 fulltime on my own) and I have days when I’m not confident in my pricing. We have all been there and we will all…
