Hey there everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Female Empowered Podcast. Today, I am talking about one of my favorite topics – pricing. 

We often see in our industry that the pricing is comparable to the other businesses in the market rather than according to their expenses, their capacity, and their profitability. It’s not your fault if you also practice this in your business, but, the truth is, if you need to generate $100 an hour to meet your expenses and pay yourself as a business owner but you are only charging $90, you will never hit your goal no matter how hard you work. 

I wanted to talk about pricing in this episode so you can get some tips and guides on raising your prices this 2024. This is one of the first things we look at when business owners join our programs. We will be getting into the nitty gritty of evaluating your pricing objectively, deciding if you need to raise your prices for profitability, how you can communicate a price update with your clients and your staff, and how you can respond to the reaction to the increase in your prices. 

Let’s dive into:
