Picked the pricier business coach over the budget option in Austin

I chose the $300 an hour coach instead of the $75 one and she helped me fire my worst client in two sessions, has anyone else found that spending more upfront actually saves you money?

Oh man, I could not agree more. I went cheap on a marketing consultant once and it cost me twice as much in time and headaches to undo what they messed up. The expensive pro I hired later paid for herself inside of a month just by helping me avoid one bad decision.

Your $1000 guy just charged me $2000 to tell me what a $20 YouTube video already covered.

Yeah, "the expensive pro later paid for herself inside of a month" really hit home for me. I had a similar thing with a web developer... hired a guy cheap to fix my site and he left a bunch of broken plugins that took my store offline for three days. The real pro I found later charged more upfront but got everything stable in a week and even showed me how to avoid the same issues going forward. That peace of mind alone was worth it, never mind the lost sales during those three days. Sometimes paying a bit more is just buying yourself less stress down the road.
