WEBINAR

Lunch-n-Learn Workshop:

You’re Not Unproductive - You’re Underpriced

February 19th @ 12pm

This workshop reframes productivity as strategic focus—not constant output—so you can identify what actually moves your business forward. You’ll learn how misaligned pricing quietly creates overwork, how to price based on your current business season and next goal, and how to structure offers that support both income and energy. The result is a business that runs with more clarity, less friction, and sustainable momentum.

Led by Asia David
