In today's episode, I discuss the common misconception that everything needs to be perfectly organized before delegating tasks like bookkeeping to an expert, which can lead to a cycle of avoidance and overwhelm. By addressing the fear of being incompetent and recognizing that experts can handle disorganization, we can break this cycle and create a more sustainable business. This episode is all about embracing the discomfort of asking for help, honing the skills of delegation, and understanding that you don't have to do it all yourself. 

In this episode, I cover: 

• How to break down the fear of being incompetent that may be holding you back from success
• The myth that everything must be in perfect order before handing off tasks
• Why identifying tasks outside our zone of genius allows us to focus on more critical aspects of our business

Turning 40 is a special milestone, and what better way to celebrate than by embarking on a much-needed, unplugged European adventure? 

In today's episode, I'm sharing three specific things that I've been doing to help prepare and plan for leaving my business. It has been no small feat, involving years of preparation and an overhaul of my business model to ensure it thrives without my constant oversight.

In today’s episode, I’m tackling a hot topic—hourly billing for project-based service contracts. My frustrations with this common pricing model stem from its tendency to create a misalignment of interests between service providers and clients. I encourage you to shift towards value-based pricing, where flat rates reflect the true value and expertise you provide. 

By focusing on the outcomes and transformations you deliver, rather than the hours spent, you can enhance the client experience and optimize your processes, benefiting everyone involved. This pricing model can pave the way for more efficient, scalable, and satisfying business practices.

In this episode, I cover: 

• The pitfalls of hourly billing and how transitioning to value-based pricing could redefine the way you do business
• The misalignment of interests that hourly billing creates between service providers and clients
• Why setting clear, flat rates can lead to better decision-making for everyone involved
• Adopting flat fees can help anticipate project needs more accurately, align our services with client expectations, and foster transparency

Today, I'm diving into one of the most emotionally charged topics we can have as female business owners, and that is pricing. I'm talking about how to align your pricing with the value, the energy, and the profit you want to make in business. Because here's the thing, you're not just setting a price for your service. You are truly setting the tone for how you work, who you work with, and the kind of business and life you're building.

Your pricing is just a number, and your worth is not tied to your revenue. You are worthy, period. So instead of "charging your worth," charge for the value your services provide. Your worth is infinite; nobody can pay that because you are so worthy.

In this episode, I cover: 

• The secrets to setting prices that truly reflect your business's value
• The power of understanding the unique transformation you offer and learning to view pricing as simply a number, not the force that dictates your worth or success
• Tips and practical strategies for pricing with clarity, belief, and alignment
