A third of my salary. That would mean I would need 3 times the amount of clients I have to make the same salary. More energy for the same result. And I'm not even talking about making MORE money. Since I do not have that kind of energy and my time is finite, I would therefore make less money since I can't, physically and mentally, take three times more clients, let alone four times to expect a better salary, and would spend more energy just trying. The goal is not to be more busy for the same outcome, or a lesser one.
Lowering rates is rarely a good solution. The reason behind it will appear curious to clients and they could avoid me, I would of course not be able to keep the quality and the number of services (within a session) I provide at this rate, my time and energy are finite, a reorganization of my marketing and advertising would need to be done to find a whole new clientele while the business is slow for everyone, even for those at 300$.
Our rates are what they are for reasons that are invisible to clients.
