Vent: read a tweet from a guy billing $18k/mo solo and now I feel sick about my pricing
Saw a post on X from some solo consultant in Austin who said he only takes 3 retainer clients at $6k each and turns down everything else. Meanwhile I have 9 active accounts, my team is fried, and our average retainer is $2.2k because I keep saying yes to everyone who asks. I get that scaling headcount looks like growth but this dude is making more than us with a laptop and a calendar. Anyone here actually held their rates firm and cut their roster down instead of hiring more people?
