The issue of fees has been a real theme this week.  

What to charge?  

How and whether to increase fees?  What does it mean to “charge my worth”?  

The key factor to remember is that you owe it to your team, your clients, and of course yourself, to maintain your business’ ability to survive. Most businesses don’t.  

Don’t get excited by being the “next big thing”. That won’t pay your bills.  

Don’t buy into the guilt around being of “service” rather than profitable. You’re neither a charity nor a hobbyist.  

Don’t listen to the fear of criticism from others because you dare to run your business like a business. Are those “others” going to pay your bills for you if you have a revenue shortfall?  

It is on YOU to charge enough.  

It is on YOU to help your team understand your fee structure.  

It is on YOU to prove your value to your community.  

And none of that means being the cheapest on the block, or going broke trying to be.  

Show some respect for your business’ survival needs and charge according to reality, not fear.  

Much love,  

Tess x  

What does your space day about you? About your business? Thinking about client/customer experience is good customer service.  

Take a moment to see things from your client’s perspective. What would you change?

And the manager’s response was spot on!  

Here’s why this is relevant to you.  

* Customer service * Courtesy 

* “Every sale matters” 

* No one will live your business as much as you 

* Hire for attitude  

All of these concepts popped up in this conversation.

How many times do I hear business owners talk about not feeling good enough? Or not feeling ready? Or not feeling like they have enough experience?  

Daily. That’s how often this comes up in my conversations. Daily.  

How you feel about yourself has nothing to do with your audience.  

How you feel about yourself has nothing to do with your clients.  

How you feel about yourself should have nothing to do with your business decisions.  

There are lots of reasons why we might doubt ourselves. The most common causes are messages given to us in childhood and negative comparisons against our peers.  

Here’s the thing, though. You get to choose.  

You get to choose whether or not you’re going to believe those childhood messages.  

You get to choose whether or not to engage in those negative comparisons.  

You get to choose whether or not to focus on what you’ve already achieved (and how good that feels) or what you’re yet to achieve (and how that makes you feel).  

You get to choose whether or not you let your self-esteem stop you from engaging in marketing (and other) efforts that will boost your business.  I know you’re thinking it’s easy for me to say. It is. Because I’m WELL PRACTICED at disengaging from limiting beliefs when they pop up. I’m well practiced at deflecting negative self-talk when that pops up. I’m well practiced at resisting the temptation to negatively compare myself to others.  It’s easy to talk ourselves down. It’s harder work (but not impossible) to learn the skills to take better care of our own state of mind.  

STOP letting your self-esteem get in the way of strategic decisions that will help you grow both as a business owner and in terms of business growth per se.  

LEARN the skills you need, and practice them OFTEN. Here are my Top 3:  

1. Stop sign - imagine a big red stop sign (or say STOP out loud) when you notice negative chatter swirling around in your mind.  

2. Distraction - when the negative thoughts are loudest in your mind, find something else to do that will derail that thought train and prevent you from falling down the rabbit hole of self-doubt.  

3. Evidence - remind yourself of the evidence readily available that you ARE good enough, that you ARE making progress, and that you ARE heading in the right direction.  

If you’re struggling to do this alone, get help! Find a mentor, business coach, or a therapist, depending on your specific needs, to guide you towards confidence, courage, and self-belief. 

Meanwhile, download my workbook “How to Slay Your Own Bullshit” (see below) for a good head start.  

And above all, be kind to yourself.  

Much love,  

Tess x

In today's episode of the podcast we talk about how and when (and WHETHER) to monitor the success of your content on social media.

This is a very current topic of conversation for many of my mentoring clients who are in the early phases of ramping up their social media presence.

Plus my dishwasher gets repaired while we speak!

Tess Crawley is an Australian psychologist and business coach. Mark Drager is a Canadian social media strategist and marketing expert. In these light-hearted podcast episodes, Tess and Mark will talk about how to get you, your brand, and your business to be the centre of attention in your field. We'll cover social media strategies, business tips, and ways you can overcome the psychological barriers to success. We'll draw on our own experiences, conversations with our business clients and colleagues, and more. And there'll be a good dose of salty Australian and Canadian humour thrown in for good measure.

With December almost upon us, now is the time to start organising our thoughts for what lies ahead in 2020.

I much prefer to do this in November / December, rather than January, because it helps me feel less overwhelmed in the pre-Christmas rush and more prepared for the year ahead.

Take time now to prepare your diary.

* Block in all the known variables like business travel, conferences, training, birthdays, etc.

The three prongs to my system are pretty simple, and help me immensely.

1. A big wall calendar allows me to see the year at a glance so I am on top of the bigger events that are scattered throughout the year. It also helps my family know what I'm up to.

2. A week-at-a-glance diary allow me to see what's coming up over the next week or so, which allows me to plan for thinking time, project work, learning new skills, etc. I don't keep this rigidly updated, but most Sundays will spend a little time on it.

3. My day-to-day, always up-to-date diary is the one in my phone. This is linked to all my electronic calendars and is where I put new appointments as they arise. This informs the Sunday updates to my week-at-a-glance overview.

And that's it. Pretty simple, but these three elements mean that at any time I can see what I've got coming up today, this week, or this year.

I'd love to hear what works for you!

Much love,

Here’s how I’ve managed clients, meetings, and mumming today.  

1. Take 5 minutes to set your top 3 priorities for the day.  

2. Stay aware throughout the day of when your “unmoveable” things like meetings are so you can plan to use downtime productively.  

3. Keep unexpected important interruptions focussed and as brief as appropriate.  

4. Keep pen and paper handy to jot down thoughts and ideas as they come to mind.  

5. Take time (even just 15 minutes with a coffee) to flesh out ideas and nut out plans.  

6. Stay focussed during your chunks of uninterrupted time so you know you’ve achieved something productive.  

And if you do drop some balls (let’s face it, we all do) be kind to yourself. You’re doing your level best!  

Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled! I’m working on a special offer of a “bundled” package of programs for you to access in 2020 at a very special rate.  

Much love, Tess. X
