Picture this. You’re at the end of a phone call with your ideal client. You’d love to work with them, and they seem excited to move forward with you, too. “So,” they start, “I really need what you offer. It’s just what I’ve been looking for. How much is it?” Do you confidently share your pricing model, or do you nervously share a number that you hope they say yes to?

If you’re not confident in pricing your services or sharing your pricing with others without immediately offering payment plans and alternatives, Episode 3 of the “How to Reduce Overwhelm in Your Business” series will help. In “It’s Okay to Get Paid What Your Services are Worth,” I’m going to share:

• Why you may be underpricing your services,
• The results of not pricing what your services are worth, and
• Ways to make asking for payments easier.

Here are the tech tools mentioned in the episode:

• GoSite: Send invoices and payment reminders to clients with a few short clicks, even through SMS text messaging. Save 50% off 6 months of Pro or Ultimate with code JACKSON50
• Get the Price Right: How to Price Your Services for Maximum Profit: In this on-demand class, learn how positioning influences pricing, overcome blocks and use this simple method to price out your next service or digital product.

How you start your day sets the tone for the rest of it. My most productive days come when I follow a regular routine. One of the most important pieces of it includes saying positive affirmations. We already know that our subconscious mind plays a big role in achieving our desires. If you think positively about yourself, you're more likely to do things in your best interest, for example.

In this podcast, I'll share 10 of the positive affirmations I say every morning, why I chose each one and what mind trap it negates. Use these to retrain your brain each day, especially when things like lack of confidence, procrastination, fear, perfectionism or overthinking start to creep in.
