“Billy immediately understood the idea we were developing and was able to provide incredible insight and big picture thinking as well as help us see innovative ways to implement our plan. He was able to provide a safe space for us to share ideas and explore possible new directions in a way that was empowering and encouraging. He shared the things that got him excited about our idea and also gave us new insights and directions that we hadn't even considered and in many ways made our initial idea a hundred times more exciting to the team.

How I do business
Idea Wheel holds a non-traditional money for service agreement with their clients, in which the client determines the value of the service at any point in time. In most cases, some amount of money will be collected in exchange for service at the time of service.
Each service has an attached Value of Service, which is simply a guideline to help the client solidify the value in the moment. For some services, the determined value may change over time.
For example, if a brainstorm session yields the missing piece to a puzzle the client has been in the process of building, then for a variety of factors, such as the majority of the foundational work to the project’s success having had nothing to do with this brainstorm session, the payment for the service could be significantly lower than the potential value of the service, and that will be fine. Perhaps years and years later the business has become ultra-successful, in part because of this idea which has become a core component, and there is a recognition that the value of that service turned out to be higher than originally thought; an additional payment at this date in the future for that original service will be welcomed and appreciated.
The agreement is not meant to dissuade the client from immediate compensation for service; the work shouldn’t be considered “free” unless it is useless.
Clients must understand that Idea Wheel maintains the right to deny or withdraw service with a client at any point in time for any reason. There is no obligation from Idea Wheel Creation House to continue to provide services against their will.
$500 or more an hour for a conversation?
Let’s say a client is working on a book and wants to talk about it; the setting, characters, plot, etc. The conversation has the potential to be inspiring to the writer, producing critical themes or generating undiscovered through-lines or ways to approach the work to help it evolve, or enable the work to become more sustainable or enable the motivation to see the project through to the end. The value of the contribution will take time to manifest.
Perhaps the conversation yielded value to the client at the time and they felt a surge of gratitude and, after going into it planning on paying a lesser amount, they end up giving $100 for the one-hour session. I would be pumped about this, and for them. And let’s say that in the future the conversation turns out to have been a catalyst for them to refine, finish, and publish their now successful book and they suddenly have abundance beyond what they’ve ever known. They may think back on our conversation and recognize that some things really are worth $500 an hour. Perhaps they reach out and we reconnect and they drop $900 in my pocket and put another Conversation appointment on the books. I would be pumped about this, and for them too. And, in that next conversation, they will get no judgment from me if they leave thinking it was useless and not paying for it. It’s all good.
Now… first of all, who is to say whether these same thoughts/themes/storylines/etc would not have occurred in another setting for the writer, without the conversation or workshop or brainstorm. The truth is, the ah-ha or train of thought or epiphany could have occurred in another setting, who’s to factually say what would have happened had there been no influence. Also true is that, at least in this scenario, they did occur in this conversation and without their influence the project wouldn’t be exactly the same as it had been prior to the conversation. That’s just the truth. It happened here. I am not credit hungry nor do I operate with nefarious intent; ideas have value, especially if ideas turn into money generation for a project or a company, and by your own experience and outcomes you will see the value of what has been offered/given to you.
There are thousands of other possible realities besides the author working on their book. Some folks may finish the conversation and immediately think it was worth $500 an hour or more, some others may find it that valuable but without the capacity to pay that much and that will be fine, too, and of course this will all depend on how the client prospects value and what their situation in life is. I invite you to be the judge. Let’s connect and see how I can help you.
