I've seen this in my own business. In my last full time job (18 years ago) my time was charged out at £150 pre day, I setup on my own and started charging the same customers £600 per day.

The difference in the way the customers treated me was astounding, I was exactly the same person in the same clothes with the same knowledge but they valued my skills more just because they were paying more.
