It has become my catchphrase: Charge More. There is almost no software business (particular in B2B) that this advice fails to improve, and the degree of improvement is wildly disproportionate to the amount of effort required to implement it.
(The original context for it was me ~12 years ago asking a forum whether I should charge $15, $20, or $25 for B2C software. I now realize that what I was *really* doing was asking permission to charge any money at all, since I -- like many entrepreneurs, particularly with technical bents -- was deeply insecure that my "quick hacky little program" actually provided value.)
