Today's question comes from Annie Milner, who was on the show previously. It was great to hear back from her again.

She says, "I have a question. I haven't raised my rates in two to three years, partly due to COVID. I currently charge $75 per hour.

Do you think that's it's too drastic to raise to $85 per hour? Important to note that I quote on a per project basis, so it's unlikely most clients will even notice.

I'm about to write a new contract with a retainer client, though, who actually nudged me about raising my rates. So really, the question is, you know, can I raise my rates? Should I raise my rates?"
