Unscripted Conversations

Today I talk about how to price your services. When we start our business that is one of the biggest questions of “how much do I charge?”, and as a non-business owner when you go somewhere to pay for something you may find yourself questioning “why do they charge so much?”.

In the first few months, I certainly fell into the cycle of undercharging myself which resulted in undervaluing myself.

Some thought traps I found myself in “I am new”, “I don’t want to lose potential clients”, “I wouldn’t be able to afford a higher cost”.

These thoughts come from comparing myself to others but ignoring my own strengths and uniqueness.

So in this episode, I share WHY I increased my rates and how I realized I needed to separate my experience/skills from years of owning a business.

What are your thoughts in figuring out your own services and what to charge, let me know privately by sending a message or connect in the AFTER THE EPISODE chat on IG!

Just like you see in the movies, the world came to a stop for Kristel. The doctor could tell her it was cancer, but he couldn't tell her a whole lot more because they were still investigating the biopsy. Kristel went to the Women's Health Centre, where she met with a surgeon. At that point, it turned out there were two tumors. Two different types of cancer.

In Episode 8. I introduce the first guest on Unscripted Conversations! We talk with Becca Bouchard and learn how her 14month adventure living in England, how it was both an amazing travel experience but also turned her away form her passion for Teaching.

We tap into how she reconnected to her purpose after Becca went through a period of burnout and she walks us through the steps it took to literally reclaim her daily commute. 🖤

Thank you to everyone that listened to my previous audio blog (if you missed it…catch it here). This was actually super helpful for me to work through some thoughts and get share in a more authentic way. 

Someone commented “ I can’t believe you were driving and able to through all your ideas with such focus and eloquence” (blushing!) Thank you very much, and yes I find driving the time I am most focused on what is going on, probably because I am not easily distracted in any other way other than driving. 

So here is Episode 2. This one I recorded in my closet so not so much background noise haha, but it is just as unscripted and free thought flowing as the last one! I hope you enjoy.

SIDE NOTE: This episode is 19:09mins !

Episode 2: 5 lessons of being newly Self Employed
NOTES:

You can download the episode to listen to it later, still looking into putting all of these into a podcast eventually but until then thank you for listening to it one my website :) 

 Lessons highlighted:

1.     Loneliness

2.     Communication

3.     Don’t need to “run”

4.     Celebration

5.     What works for you may not work for me
