Like you, I went freelance because I needed flexibility — my son William needs round-the-clock care, and I wanted financial freedom without always asking, “Is it okay if I buy this?”

But, school holidays, hospital appointments, and life in general meant I couldn’t take on loads of long-term clients. I needed something simple, profitable, and totally flexible.

Enter: Power Hours.

Here’s why I think every freelancer should offer them:

1. They’re wildly profitable. I started at £99 (about 8 years ago) and quickly worked up to £297 per session. One session a day, Monday to Thursday, and the extra income added up fast.
2. You don’t need another big offer or long-term package. Power Hours are a brilliant way to serve people quickly without the pressure of an ongoing project.
3. They’re easy to schedule around real life. Appointments, holidays, inset days, I could fit them in as and when I had time.
4. They give huge value in a short time. Clients walk away with clarity and actionable steps, something people are happy to pay a decent amount for.
5. You can charge more than you think. These days, £99 would be way too low for a power hour, but whatever you start at, you can steadily raise your price as the demand grows. We've seen people charge over £500 for a power hour wrapped up in a fancier name!
6. They’re a stepping stone to bigger offers. Inside The Inner Hub membership, we teach the 'Power Hour Power Up' Strategy (see below), which helps you turn a one-off session into more revenue, without being pushy. When Jacqui, one of our Inner Hub members, used it, she converted a power hour into £1,500 worth of business!

By the way, August is a great time to offer Power Hours to your audience so they can get back into the swing of things in September, ready for the Q4 madness!
