The #1 Secret Holding Back Your Firm’s Hourly Rates
You know you need to raise your rates, but every time you think about charging more, you feel that pit in your stomach…
And you can’t figure out why.
Because pricing is not just a numbers issue. It is a belief issue.
In this episode, Moshe sits down with pricing expert Linda Hunt, founder of SumSolutions and author of The Money Conversation, to unpack the real reason so many law firm owners underprice their services. It is not just about strategy. It is about whether your mind and body are actually aligned around the value you bring.
When you do not truly believe your services are worth more, that shows up in your pricing, your sales conversations, your confidence, and ultimately your firm’s profitability.
In this conversation, you will learn:
- Why underpricing often starts with an internal belief gap, not a market problem
- How to recognize when you know you should charge more, but do not actually believe it yet
- Why pricing is emotional before it is mathematical
- How to communicate your value in a way clients can understand and say yes
- What it takes to move beyond hourly billing and price in a way that supports real firm growth
- How to handle pricing objections without discounting or second-guessing yourself
If you have ever felt stuck between knowing your firm should charge more and not feeling fully confident asking for it, this episode will help you close that gap.
Because the firms that grow are not just the ones with better numbers. They are the ones led by owners who believe in the value they deliver.

(Chest, throat, belly, jaw, breath — be specific.)
- What thoughts tend to follow that sensation?
(Stories, fears, assumptions, or familiar narratives.)
