"I’m talking pricing your services now in proportion to the rewards the client may enjoy later.” -
Definitely something hard to achieve in freelancing - but does seem to be incredibly valuable for companies who can use freelancers wisely

I couldn’t make sense of this line. What’s your interpretation?

Think of it as the equivalent of a risk premium. Like soldiers being paid an imminent danger or hostile fire pay.

I would accept the authors interpretation though haha

They are not inconsistent 🙂
You operate in a new, leveled up way if you raise with risk, even if task is the same. Being on patrol in peacetime and in a war zone involve same basic behaviors, but latter requires heightened level. It’s a way to capture the meaning of the project
I get the risk if you go from an hourly to outcome based engagement model, but what’s the risk in an hourly engagement model? What makes one client a $400/hr risk versus a $1000/hr?

I think it’s more about aiming for a shift behind transactional work. Not sure you can quantify it as I’m interpreting it.
