Donald Miller—How to Stop Giving Free Advice and Start Charging for Your Expertise

How do you start charging for your advice without feeling weird about it? A lot of business owners have the expertise to coach others, but turning that knowledge into a successful coaching business can feel daunting and awkward. How do you know if what you’re offering is worth the price? The real challenge isn’t what you know—it’s learning how to package that knowledge into something people are willing to pay for.
