Imagine this: You’re trying to price a project, but you’re stuck second-guessing yourself because you don’t know how to balance value and profit. Or maybe you’ve spent hours wooing a potential client, only to find they’ve gone with someone else.

If any of that sounds familiar, it’s not your fault.
