Short conversational clip from a YouTube video titled "Get in the right rooms" (Eric Deeran - Master Filmmaker, uploaded Sep 8, 2024). Speakers advise surrounding yourself with people closing large deals (e.g., $100,000) to gain social proof and a mindset that justifies charging higher fees; they emphasize that mindset and self-valuation are central because the individual is effectively the business.
It's like, get around people who are closing $100,000 deals, because then you're going to feel like you're not charging enough, and it's just going to give you social proof that it is possible. And that's the funniest thing about it, too. It's like, I don't know if I should charge this. It's like, dude, it's a mindset thing. Like, you need to value you at that much so that you can ask other people for that amount of money.
Yeah. And that's something that's a little bit more intangible, I think. But it's just, just as important, if not more important, because ultimately you are the business if you're doing this kind of work.
