The Problem Nobody Talks About
The $29/Month Humiliation
“I was charging contractors $29/month for a financing platform. One day, a customer casually mentioned he was paying his Google Ads guy $12,000 a month.”
He was paying someone 400x more than he was paying us. And he was happy about it.
That's when it hit me: We were solving $10,000 problems and charging $29.
