Your A-Game Podcast

What's the connection between pricing and communication?

Well, in this episode Guest Expert, Donna Leyens and I get raw and real on how to communicate your value so people pay you.

You may be a Mom, but you're a badass business owner too, and it's your time to make money.

Here's some fun news, studies have shown that female-owned businesses are growing at a faster rate than male-owned businesses. According to a report from American Express, in 2019, the number of women-owned businesses increased by 58% since 2007, compared to just a 5% increase for businesses owned by men.

Additionally, the same report found that female-owned businesses are more likely to be profitable than male-owned businesses, with 36% reporting annual revenues of $250,000 or more, compared to just 29% of male-owned businesses.

This is a positive trend and more and more women are starting and growing successful businesses.

The best part is that this success is available for you too.

Listen in on this episode and learn about the connection between pricing and communication so your people value and pay you.

In this episode, host Susan Vernicek shares a "Price for Profit: Thoughts + Exercise"

There is still too much mindset drama around how and what you price your services. Too much time is wasted and I'm here to help you build the belief in the benefits and results of your services and products.

You are a business and businesses make money and bring in profit. It's time to accept that role as a business owner, to appreciate the opportunity to create an income on your terms, and to celebrate every dollar you earn along the way.

How do you show up for yourself?

In this episode, we're joined by one of my amazing clients, Kristyn Koegel.

Kristyn has done extraordinary work on herself and succeeded on so many levels, so I wanted to share her story with you and give you an inside look at the coaching work we do together.

Kristyn Koegel is a mom, a writer, a speaker, a musician, teacher, trainer and coach, and most of all, a vibrant ball of energetic love here to serve through all of her heart, spirit, mind, and body.

At a young age, she began the battle with mental disorders resulting in suicide attempts and eating disorders that paved the way to delve into a lifelong search for meaning and purpose.

She used all of her traumatic experiences as the foundation to rebuild and renew her life through awareness, curiosity, courage, trial, and error, and most importantly, the constant self-renewal of her heart, mind, and body.

Kristyn is sharing how having a coach helped her reframe her thoughts, prioritize herself, and get her schedule back on track. She's also sharing some of the most valuable things she's learned about herself and her faith. Kristyn is someone who is willing to show up and do the work to get amazing results, and I'm so excited for you to hear from her.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to look inside the life of one of my clients, and make sure you stick around until the end to get the most out of this powerful conversation!

Why is it that we beat ourselves up for not feeling happy, grateful, or content 24/7?

Guess what? You're human, and even when you're experiencing success, you're allowed to feel sad, exhausted, or frustrated… or anything else for that matter!

This episode is all about how to be human and have all the feelings that go along with that while also being successful. We all have times when we feel like we need permission to be human, and I'm here to give it to you.

I hope you get a quick burst of inspiration from this episode. It's short and sweet and it means a lot to me.

If you need someone to tell you that it's okay to feel the way you feel, you need this episode.
