    This week, we’re diving into an essential topic: how to confidently present your pricing to potential clients. If you’ve ever felt hesitant, apologetic, or nervous about sharing your prices, this episode will help you overcome those fears and stand firm in the value you offer.

    I’ll share my personal journey, from freezing at the thought of saying, “It’s $310,” to confidently explaining my worth and the benefits of my services. You’ll also learn how biblical wisdom—like Caleb’s unwavering confidence in Numbers 13—applies to owning your worth in your business.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why pricing hesitancy can stall your business growth.
    • How to shift your mindset to focus on the value you provide.
    • Lessons from my own experience of learning to confidently explain pricing.
    • Practical tips for presenting your prices without fear or apology.
    • How seeing yourself as God sees you influences your confidence in your business.
    • Key Scripture Reference:

                        • and find simple ways to start earning more.
                        • You'll hear real-life examples, like how I helped a client realize she had more money left over than she thought, and how to find creative side income ideas based on what people are already looking for in your community.

                              This is perfect for both the Christian who doesn't have an income earning idea yet, AND the Christian that has a side business that isn't making money (a.k.a. impact...more on that later).


                              In this podcast, I’ll teach you how to:

                              • manage the money God has given you better
                            5. use your skills and interests to create more income on the side
                            6. earn extra money consistently
                            7. grow in your faith and understanding of stewarding what God has given you
                            8. help a lot of people!

                              Hey, I'm Vicky Arsenault and I'm most known for helping Christians break the paycheck to paycheck cycle by creating their own income on the side doing what they already know how to do.  

                              I've been an entrepreneur for the past 20 years and believe that ANYONE can create extra income if they want to.  I’m here to help set you free from financial stress and build a life that always keeps God at the center.


                              So, let's get going!

                            10. 54: Are you willing to do whatever it takes to see Jesus like Zacchaeus did?

                              I did this Facebook live inside one of my Facebook groups and thought I'd share it here on the podcast for you.  

                              I was reading about Zacchaeus one morning and just needed to share the revelation I got from it, even after reading this passage many times over the years.  

                              Zacchaeus (a.k.a. "Z") was so excited about seeing Jesus, he climbed a tree to get a better view.  Jesus calls him out by name and invites himself over to Z's house for dinner.  Z is pumped about this.  

                              Listen in to see what happens and how we should all remember that God calls each of us out by name and loves us.
