I think Tobiah and yourself point to it... can you have both? You decided to increase prices to get what you want and accepted that this would have some negative impacts in your local market. You\'re getting enough work now, people are finding you from outside your area, and things seem good.
I think it\'s good that you\'re keeping on top of it, and can appreciate why you might feel slightly insecure on the topic. But as long as you keep assessing where and how you\'re getting your business I think you\'ll be okay.
Is it simply about you wanting to work with more local people? I\'m not sure what else can be done here. If you\'re going to be perceivably expensive to 90% of the people in your area, then in short I think you\'ll always be fighting a losing battle. You\'ve found the people that appreciate your work, who happen to mostly live outside of your area, so you can\'t have everything
I wish I could share a personal insight but as you know I don\'t have years of experience to share.
