Has anyone ever told you to "charge your worth"? It's ChatGPT's favorite pricing suggestion, and it's well-meaning advice…

But here's the problem: you're not selling you. And when you base your price on your worth, every sales conversation turns into an audition where you're trying to prove you deserve what you're charging.

In this episode, I break down why "charge your worth" keeps service providers stuck, what to actually base your price on, and how shifting your focus from you to your client's outcomes eliminates pricing anxiety for good.

  • Why "charge your worth" is well-meaning but fundamentally flawed pricing advice

  • What happens to your nervous system when you think you're selling yourself

  • Why your proposal isn't a resume (and what it actually is)

  • What clients are really buying (it's not you)

  • The questions to ask yourself before your next proposal to shift to outcome-based pricing

  • Why believing in the value you create eliminates pricing anxiety completely

    Stop trying to charge your worth. Your price isn't about you. it's about the value of the outcomes and results your clients can create through working with you. And when you take the time to genuinely think through that value and believe it, you will never again question your pricing.
