How Bas (Projector) escaped his money worries

Where Bas felt stuck

Bas was self-employed in construction. He accepted every job for fear the following month would be empty. His account was constantly overdrawn.

The more he worked, the less oversight he had. Invoices piled up.

What stood out in the chart

As a Projector, he does not have a continuous motor for physical labour. Every job was literally borrowing energy he did not have.

Ego authority means only committing to what he truly wants, at the price he truly wants.

What Bas started doing differently

• Raised his rate by 40 per cent without justifying it.
• Only accepted jobs he genuinely wanted to do (an Ego check).
• Let his network (line 4) know he was aiming higher; clients came through existing contacts.

What changed

Half his existing clients dropped away. The other half paid the new rate without complaint.

His revenue rose while his hours fell. For the first time in years, he had savings in the bank.

What you can take away from this

Working more hours to solve scarcity rarely works. Often, the leap is less work, a higher price and a clearer offering.
