Wedding Business Solutions Should you charge a lot more for an event that's far away, or just say no?
Should you charge a lot more for an event that's far away, or just say no?
Should you take on that event that’s hours away—or is it better to just walk away? What happens if you charge a much higher fee and the client actually says yes? Will the extra cash make up for the inconvenience, or will you regret saying yes just because of the price? In this episode, I share my perspective on how distance, motivation, and honest decision-making come together, with real-world examples and a simple rule to follow the next time you’re tempted to say yes for the wrong reasons.
Listen to this new 5-minute episode for practical advice on when to charge more for travel, when to turn jobs down, and how to protect your business (and peace of mind) from regretful “yes” decisions.
