Are you working tirelessly in your business, only to feel underpaid and overwhelmed? In this week's episode, Anna Lundberg breaks down the real reasons independent experts find themselves overworked yet under-earning - and what you can do differently. Discover actionable strategies to design a business that pays you what you deserve, protects your time, and keeps you energised.
Key takeaways:
-
Ditch Frankensteined Offers
Stop scattering your energy on bespoke, complicated services for every client—streamlining your offers and messaging leads to more clarity, easier marketing, and better sales. -
Break the Cycle of Undercharging and Overdelivering
Learn how pricing based on fear leads to resentment and burnout, and why knowing your "integrity rate" (what you should earn) and "resentment rate" (the bare minimum) changes the game. -
Prioritise Relationships Over Reach
Rather than chasing cold leads on LinkedIn or obsessing over follower counts, tap into existing clients, referrals, and close networks for immediate, reliable sales. -
Map Out Effort vs Reward
Use Anna's quadrant framework to identify which offers bring in high reward with less effort—and ruthlessly cut tasks and services that drain your time without decent returns. -
Refine Your Marketing—Less Is More
Only invest in the platforms and activities that actually generate clients, not just likes or noise. Every hour counts!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
