Send us a text  "Should I put my prices on my website?" Funny as it may sound, this is the second most asked question I get from people. Which is one reason why it's the topic of this episode. I can see how the question plagues people and I don't think it's a topic worth worrying about. What's important is that you understand how to make a strategic decision about what's right for your busine...

Send us a text Do you know why that's your price ? Or why you price is what it is? Many small businesses have no good reason for why they have the price they have except - that's what other people are charging. In my book that is rarely a reason that will make you feel confident. Nor will it give you the best price you can have. Knowing why your price is what it is , is what's going to give you th...

Send us a text One thing I've seen an explosion of recently is membership sites and with that comes the question what do I charge my members. It can feel tricky. Often people use membership sites early on as a tool to create a community who's then later a "captive audience" for upselling - you can then sell them higher value offers. In the end pricing for membership sites will always come down to...

Send us a text Recognizing when to make changes in your pricing is an important part of managing prices in any business. I've had many people on the show who shared with us that it took them quite a long time to both realize and then accept that they would need to change prices in their business. You may struggle with that as well. And it often has quite a negative impact on business, especially g...

Send us a text It's often the case that when you don't feel confident about what you charge you make judgements or even decisions for your customers. Ones that aren't yours to make. It often shows up in the form of granting unnecessary discounts. For example if you've offered discounts before someone asks for one, before they've objected or before you've understood how they value your offer. Unnec...

Send us a text When it finally dawned on me that I'd done nearly 100 episodes, I couldn't really believe it. Have I really come that far and been doing this that long. It almost feels like yesterday that I started. An entrepreneur's journey is by no means an easy one. But when you can stick with it the rewards are many. And I've asked three very special guests to join me to celebrate as we approac...

Send us a text One of the people I had on the show earlier on observed that Coaches are terrible (in general) at valuing what they bring clients and it has a terrible impact on what they do with their pricing. This isn't really their fault. With good intentions the coaching programs sometimes provide business advice, like what to charge clients. But this isn't their expertise, often the advise is...

Send us a text Most of the time the biggest thing standing in your way is you. Often it's subconscious and so your job is to start recognizing when you're in your own way and figure out how to shift things so you can progress. It's also true when it comes to doing pricing in your business. Your mindset, your understanding of pricing and you're ability to work through the blocks that are in your wa...
