Are you covering your "real" costs? Not just rent and grocerties, but health insurance, software, retirement savings, and time off.
Are you accounting for non-billable time? A sustainable consultancy requires knowing how many actual hours you have available to bill once you factor in marketing and admin.
Do you have a buffer? If you don't have a profit margin built in, one slow month can derail your business (and potentially your life).

This workbook guides you through a Bottom-Up Pricing method designed to create a financial safety net. 1. Financial Sustainability: The "Safety Net" Calculation Stop guessing. We help you list every single expense—personal and professional—to calculate exactly what you need to earn to run your life and business well. You will learn to identify your "floor"—the minimum rate you need to pay your bills and build a buffer for slow months. 2. Operational Sustainability: The "Billable Hours" Reality Your time and energy are finite assets. We provide the formulas to calculate your rate based on realistic working hours (approx. 1,000/year) rather than a 40-hour grind, ensuring you are paid for the business development time that keeps your pipeline full. 3. Emotional Sustainability: The "Gut Check" Pricing isn't just math; it's about self-trust. If you constantly underprice out of fear of losing opportunities, resentment builds. This workbook includes specific prompts to help you navigate the "imposter syndrome" and feelings that arise when asking for what you are worth
