"Powerful stuff, great video – I’m now in my 50s I used to work as a software developer, when I was in my early 30s the company I worked for let me go (the whole company folded) One of the clients we had called on the Monday and wanted me to continue the project I had been working on for the past 6 months. I called my old boss for advice on how much I should charge for the work, he told me this, ‘we used to charge them £1100 a day for your services, start at £1000 per day (you won’t get that, but you can always work down from there) To cut a long story short, without much negotiating she offered me £850 per day! That was mega money back then - that day changed my life, I was getting paid £24,000 per year – yet someone was willing to pay me £850 per day for 4 months to get some work done. It taught me that you will never be paid your true worth working for someone else. I Never took another full-time job – from there I just contracted out my services and went on to build a couple of business. Looking back, I cannot imagine where my life would be if I had just continued doing that 9-5 working for someone else. "
