"It took me a long time to realize the value I delivered."

Reality is if you don't value what you deliver your customers, chances are no one else will either.  

Too often business owners don't really believe in what they deliver. On the surface they say and do seemingly the right things, but at a deeper level that lack of certainty is silently sabotaging their efforts. In order to price what you offer the right way, not only do you need to know the value you need to believe it as well.

In this episode of Live with the Pricing Lady I sat down with special guest Joy Foster, Founder of TechPixies Ltd. TechPixies helps women upskill with social media in order to return to work, change careers or start a business.

Joy says about her own business journey, "It took me a long time to realize the value I delivered." As you'll hear in the interview her success wasn't overnight and it did take internal work get where she is today.

You're going to love this interview there's so much to learn from.
