Jim also taught me his pricing strategy… my tribute to him here: http://designresumes.com/blog/2009/12/blow-the-...

The way I see it, I am on a journey, and the valuable mentors with blogs who tweet and the people who share the mentors talents with tweets, make us all better.

Jim is a friend and mentor of mine too – one of the best guys online.

Thank you for sharing your story with us – I too have lived for too long in the land of over promising. It's a common trait when people are passionate – but at the same time, aren't confident about their pricing. People who over promise often under charge!

Thanks, Scott. This is a topic I was thinking about a lot lately and even thinking about writing about and I still might. But I really like your take on it. I find that sometimes as a small business as a career marketing professional who up until recently was trying to juggle the role of Operations Manager for Wausau Whitewater, and in recent history had several other non-profits I was contracting with, that I was always feeling like I should be making promises. In the end, I realized I couldn't humanly keep all the promises I was making. So I let go of things one by one. Now in my new journey, I am trying to keep your message in mind. Under promise, over deliver. Good points. and by the way, one of my favorite mentors, Jim Connolly, led me here. Merry Christmas!

Thanks Scott I also got some chocs today from @martbellis of Business Link with a successful (unexpected) follow up meeting from a great and genuinely interested business advisor – definitely was over delivering what was expected – plus they came out to me in Tavistock – across the moors – nice!!
