Summary
Most businesses never hit a million dollars a year for one simple reason—and it’s not traffic, talent, or timing.
I’ve watched smart, hard-working entrepreneurs grind for years, doing everything ‘right,’ and still stay stuck below seven figures. And almost every time, it comes back to the same mistake.
They’re undercharging.
In this video, I want to show you why pricing isn’t just about making more money—it actually affects the quality of your clients, the peace you have in your business, and how fast you can scale.
I call this the Six P’s of Premium Pricing, and once you see this, you’ll never look at pricing the same way again

| 0:06.8 | and meaning in your life. I'm your host, of course, Graham Cochran. Let's get into it. |

| 0:24.7 | It's not traffic. |
| 0:26.4 | It's not talent. |
| 0:27.3 | It's not timing. |

| 0:55.6 | and how fast you can scale. I call these the six P's of premium pricing. And once you see this, |

| 1:24.6 | that we could pull to make more money. Number one is get more leads. Get in front of |
| 1:28.3 | more people. Get in front of more people watching your YouTube video. Get in front of more people with |
| 1:32.0 | ads. Grow your Instagram. Just get in front of more people to hear about what you do. And this is |
| 1:37.6 | the one everyone focuses on, right? Get more leads. Number two is increase your conversion rate. |
