Wealthy in Pajamas

Do you get stuck knowing how to price your product or service? I find so many creative business owners in the same situation!

Key points from this episode:

• When you are trying to determine your prices, you need to stop asking yourself ‘is this reasonable’. Instead you need to ask yourself ‘are these prices realistic for me and my needs and goals’.
• Your financial needs and goals are something only you know, your audience, your clients, your customers have no idea what is going on with you, and vice versa, you don't know what is going on with everyone else's financial situation.
• There is an audience for every price range, for every level of budget, there are customers out there
• Having boundaries on your time that goes into each offer is really important. 
• If you go over the allotted time you have given, it needs to be a conscious choice

Do you struggle with being consistent in your business? In the next episode of the Wealthy Business Moment, Sonya shares her number 1 tip on how to become more consistent, and why the best way to do this is by starting small.

When working with creative entrepreneurs and spiritual business owners, I see time and time again how they determine their prices based on their worthiness.

Key points from this episode:

• Your prices are not based on your worthiness, there is so much advice that goes round that says you should charge for your worth, however this is terrible advice. 
• Your prices really need to be based on your actual needs and your financial goals. You can take the worthiness right out of it. 
• If someone doesn't opt in for your offer, your invitation, your art etc. it doesn't mean they are saying you are not worthy or valuable. 
• Your pricing and worthiness is not determined by your humanness moment to moment.

As a creative entrepreneur, you will have a money story, everyone does. But you may not know what yours is, or you may not even be familiar with the term money stories. In this episode on the Wealthy in Pajamas podcast, Sonya discusses what money stories are, how to decipher yours, and her personal experience with her money story.

[02:31] - What is a money story

[04:51] - How do you examine your money story

[09:49] - Why mindset is a huge part of your money story

[13:31] - You can change your money story

Key points from this episode:

• A Money Story is a combination of your conscious and subconscious thoughts and feelings and experiences around money.
• You likely have a variety of influences in your life, as well as your own experiences around money, that have all impacted how you view and relate to and use money now; as well as your lens of how you view yourself, how you view the world, how you view doing business, and basically any way that money is used in your life.
• You can start to examine your money story by going back in time and looking at your first experiences with money.
• It’s important to keep in mind that when it comes to mindset work, our thoughts are not facts, which means that they can be changed! 
• A great question to ask yourself is, “What was my first money memory?”

Episode 9

The only question you need to ask to create offers that give your clients results & allow you to show up in your zone of genius. Plus, a pricing formula that allows you to profit and pay for your WHOLE life.

• [03:05] - What do your clients need in order to be set up for success?
• [06:19] - What do you need in order to set yourself up for success?

• [15:58] - Feeling in integrity with your pricing
• [20:40] - Mindset

Takeaways:

• When deciding on your offer, take out all the limitations as factors (timelines, money factor, etc.) and choose what you know is going to change someone’s life and know that you can show up and serve the heck out of.
• If you are coming from a place where you feel most powerful, you will energetically be behind your offer in a more powerful way.
• You are priceless, but your life costs money, and your business needs to cover the costs of your whole life.
• If numbers make you uncomfortable, it’s helpful to remember that numbers are information and information is power.
• Many people struggle because when creating pricing they only factor in current expenses, without thinking about creating profit, future expenses, investments, and desired expenses.
• Pricing and worth are subjective, and there’s an audience for all of the levels.

Episode 7

Many people are working very hard in their businesses just trying to bring the next dollar in as opposed to taking the time to set up their businesses to support how they want to experience their lives. By leading with your desires and aligning short term goals with your long term vision, you can create the life and business of your dreams.

• You’re never going to get to your long term vision if you aren’t creating short term goals and taking actionable steps toward it.
• Every successful person has had to go through foundational steps.
• The sooner that you embrace this process, the faster you’ll move through the steps and reach your vision.
• Leading from your desires helps make it easier to make the shifts you need to in order to be successful.

Episode 5

Owning your desires can be really challenging because we often don’t spend the time and energy to get really clear on identifying them. We get caught up in what we think we “should” want or what others want for us, but boldly owning your desires truly creates magic in your life.

• [00:00] - Intro
• [00:43] - Identifying your desires

• [07:26] - What owning your desires accomplishes
• [08:44] - Sharing your desires with the right people
• [10:20] - The growth that can come with finding community

Key Takeaways

• It can be tricky to identify your desires and can take some exploration and investigation within yourself.
• Often desires come up that feel illogical, too big or impossible, and we shut them down. This creates a pattern of limiting ourselves. And these desires are the hardest to own.
• The practice of owning your desires creates clarity around your next steps and how you want to live your life with purpose.
• When you start boldly owning your desires you will encounter people who just don’t get you or what you are trying to do. That’s when you make an effort to find people who do, because they are out there.
• When you start leaning into your bold desires, even if they are surprising, things can start to move very quickly in a direction that feels really amazing.

Homework: Go through the journal prompts, look at your business and your offers, and if anything feels funky or doesn’t light you up, sit with it for a bit. Think about what you really desire, what you really want to offer, what feels really powerful to put out in the world, what you are willing to boldly go after.

owner in the way of being more generous, more impactful, and showing up fuller

for your clients.

● Focusing solely on strategy and leaving yourself out of the equation is the wrong

way to do business.

growth vehicle, so that you can step into that bigger version of yourself that you

are meant to be.
