You can skip today's Mastermind Book Club meeting with Alastair Dryburgh this Thursday. It’s just another hour out of your busy day, right? But what’s the real price of that hour? It’s not just 60 minutes. It’s the cost of every proposal you’ve underpriced this year. It’s the revenue you left on the table because you were guessing, not strategizing. It’s the deals you lost to a competitor who wasn’t cheaper, but who framed their value better. Think about it. How many times have you set a price based on your costs, or what you think the client will pay? Alastair’s The Pricing Genius isn’t about finding a magic number. It’s about a fundamental shift in mindset, from reactive pricing to strategic dominance. It’s about understanding the story behind the price. The story that makes a client see your fee not as a cost, but as an investment in avoiding a catastrophe. Missing this meeting is a decision to continue operating in the dark. It’s choosing to stay in the race to the bottom, competing on price instead of value. The cost is the thousands, or tens of thousands, of dollars in profit you’re not earning because your pricing is a liability, not a weapon. Alastair will share the story behind his groundbreaking OODA framework. This isn’t just theory; it’s a battle-tested strategy that turns pricing from a point of weakness into your most powerful advantage. Can you afford to miss that? Can you afford to keep guessing? This isn’t just another meeting. It’s an investment in your bottom line. The cost of not attending isn’t an hour of your time. It’s the future of your profitability. Don't miss it: Thursday, November 20th at 11:30 AM Pacific / 2:30 PM Eastern. Tom Ruwitch and I read the book and created a summary so you can be up to speed in a few minutes. Alastair Dryburgh will be live on the call answering your questions. Join us live https://mastermindbook.club Ted |

What if everything you needed to say about your business could fit in a single sentence? Not a tagline. Not a mission statement. One sentence that stops your ideal client cold and makes them think, "That's exactly what I need." That's the premise behind Neil Gordon's Silver Bullet. Once you understand it, you'll never pitch your business the same way again. Here's how it works. Most of us lead with our solution. We talk about what we do, what we offer, and why we're qualified.

The fog was already burning off San Francisco Bay when I sat down at my desk in San Anselmo, coffee going cold beside my keyboard. I had a problem. Not a new problem. The same one I'd been circling for decades. I've been on the internet since 1992, back when most people had no idea what it was. The browser wouldn't be invented for another five years. I'd managed networks, sold computer hardware, and watched the entire digital world get built from the inside out. Then I pivoted to LinkedIn...
Mike White walked onto Survivor 50 with no immunity idol, no physical advantage, and no survival skills. What he had was a story. The creator of The White Lotus knew exactly what his weapon was. "Being a storyteller is pretty much my only skill set," he admitted. "Being able to see people in their narrative, articulate that, and get in people's heads." His strategy wasn't to outrun or outmuscle anyone. It was to make every player feel like he was a supporting character in their story. For...
