We talk everything from landing more clients, increasing your rates, getting paid to do work you used to do for free, how to get clients on a monthly retainer agreement, and if you stick around to the end of the show -- Kai lays out his exact one-hour-at-a-time plan on how he would get a new consulting business off the ground.
