Mochi's a pro compared to my dog. He ate a bluetooth keyboard last quarter. Not chewed, fully consumed. Had to buy a new one and the vet bill was insane. Did your accountant have a straight face the whole time or did he crack up?

Totally, I read this blog post about "anchoring" where your first price point just locks in your brain. Like if your first freelance gig paid $15 an hour, you keep using that as a guide even years later when your skills are way better. You have to force yourself to look at fresh data, like current job listings or industry reports, to break that anchor. It's crazy how much money people leave on the table just because of a number they decided on years ago.
