CREATIVE STRENGTHS

101. WHY YOUR NATURAL SKILLS ARE YOUR BIGGEST ASSET


Listen Later

"It's just something I'm naturally good at." "It feels too easy to charge for." "Anyone could do that." I hear these phrases constantly from creative entrepreneurs who are unknowingly dismissing their most valuable business assets. What feels effortless to you is often exactly what clients will pay premium prices for. In this episode, I'll show you how to spot your undervalued strengths and turn them into your most profitable offerings.

Key Moments:
  • [01:53] The problem: Why "it feels too easy" is costing you money
  • [02:53] Real examples of natural skills being undervalued by their owners
  • [03:52] The weird guilt about charging for things that come naturally
  • [05:31] The reframe: Easy for you doesn't mean easy for everyone else
  • [06:50] How to recognise when ease actually indicates expertise
  • [07:31] This week's action: Start tracking your "no big deal" moments
Notable Quotes:

"What feels effortless to you is often what clients and customers will pay premium prices for. The skill that comes naturally, that you barely have to think about, that you assume everyone can do - that's probably your most valuable part of your offerings."

"Your clients aren't just paying for your time. They're paying for your perspective, your expertise, your ability to see solutions they can't see. They're paying for the years of experience that allow you to make something look effortless."
