On the radio, at the pub and going to SEED
Just a quick set of news flashes here.
Last week I had the good fortune to be interviewed on Business at Night by Greg Hebert of CFRA in Ottawa. I talked about a variety of things including who FreshBooks is for, why to use FreshBooks versus the competition and why I wanted (and built) the first version (”I wanted something that would tell me who owed me what and helped me collect that money”). You can download that interview or listen to it here:
Tonight I’m going to be speaking at the Victory Cafe to the Design Guild of Toronto — a group of entrepreneurs and creative professionals who meets monthly. If you want to come out and say hello, I’m going to be talking about fee structures, billing your clients and the importance of value-based pricing.
Finally, a reminder that we want to pay for your ticket to the SEED conference in Chicago. The offer ends this Wednesday so if you are interested, get on it.

Just uploaded this to my Treo, looking forward to listening to your interview on the drive home today.

You wrote SEED conference in Toronto – I think you meant Chigaco – but you got me all excited there for a few seconds.

As our resident copy editor, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I was able to make it to Victory Cafe to hear Mike speaking about value-based pricing, a direction which ultimately drives the Entrepreneurial venture. This is a bit strange considering that FreshBooks’ one of many main features is time-tracking, but ultimately… I was going to have a point but it’s late and I had a couple of drinks. Point is, you should charge what you’re worth and not by the hour. Here endeth the lesson.
This. Is. Gold.

Ironic that a guy who runs a time tracking service would advocate a method of billing that is not time based, eh?
Donna – great to meet you in person; thanks for coming out!
