Imagine being slammed with client work… deadlines piling up… and still looking at your income like, “Wait—why doesn’t this match how hard I’m working?” That was Ingrid Lange—fully booked, wildly underpaid, and what she calls a “busy fool.” In this episode, Ingrid breaks down how she shifted from underpriced project work, to hourly for protection, and then back to premium project pricing based on value—plus how she doubled her rate with existing clients and got zero pushback. Quick heads up: we had a few choppy connection moments early on, but the insights are gold. Let’s dive in.
