WD: Why ‘charge what you’re worth’ is bad advice

Sep 25, 2020 1:54 pm

Hi


Based on the feedback I’ve been receiving, I decided to shake things up a bit. From now on every Friday you will receive a weekly digest email containing a short description and links to all the content I’ve put out that week. I will put WD in the subject line so you can quickly identify it as such.


The rest of the emails will either be educational, inspirational, motivational or practical and include tips, strategies, stories, encouragement and support.


I truly hope you’ll enjoy the new format which will allow you to differentiate between emails containing resources (videos, posts, articles) and the rest.


Let’s kick things off with this week’s content which started with a very healthy and engaging discussion on LinkedIn about pricing and why “charging what you’re worth” is, in my opinion, bad advice. Especially for new entrepreneurs and business owners. Feel free to join that conversation if you haven’t already. You can read the post here.


Ever since I released the video on how much it cost me to start my financial coaching business in 2017, I’ve been meaning to do a follow-up on the costs of running a coaching business. In this week’s YouTube video I not only share what it costs to run a coaching business, but also how I got to point where I save over £4,000 per year on business running costs. Not one to be missed if you have a business or you’re thinking of starting one.


On Thursday I talked about paying yourself first: what it means, why it’s important and how it can influence your goals. This principle is a good one to apply both to your personal and your business finances and it's a gamechanger.


And finally, hot off the “press”, I published a Medium article sharing my story of not having had a TV for the last 14 years (yes, really!) and the 5 things I gained instead. Hint: one of these gains is monetary, calculations included. 


Enjoy this week’s content and feel free to share it with other people if you think it might benefit them.


Until next time, stay savvy.

Alisa
