Exactly Dan. Marketing is what will let you price your 
work at a living rate, a luxury rate or, if you do it 
right, an obscene rate.

A person with a stable of polo ponies deserves to pay 
nothing less than the obscene rate. And THAT is exactly 
how you have to market yourself, the customer DESERVES 
NOTHING LESS than obscenely expensive work! People with 
strings of polo ponies, $30mil. summer homes, etc. 
aren't going to be interested in less.

Seriously, how else can they brag? People rarely buy 
visibly extravagant stuff for themselves directly, 
mostly it's to elicit envy from their peers.
