  • Ep 69 - What's the Secret to a Predictable Profit Plan?
    Nov 5 2024

    How much would your business change if you landed just 5 or 10 new clients? Often, we focus on vanity metrics, like our number of social media followers, thinking that more visibility automatically leads to success. While it’s important to grow your audience, the real game-changer for your business is having a consistent, predictable strategy to convert that visibility into paying clients. If you're tired of feeling like you’re hustling non-stop without seeing a sustainable return, listen in. We’re diving into how to create a 12-month profit plan that ensures you avoid the feast-or-famine cycle that so many entrepreneurs fall into. Let’s get into it!

  • Ep 68 - Pricing Strategies That Guarantee Success for Small Business Owners
    Oct 29 2024

    Running a business that feels more like a grind than the freedom-filled venture you once envisioned? You’re not alone. Many online business owners find themselves stuck in a cycle of burnout, constant busywork, and underwhelming income. One of the most significant yet often overlooked culprits? Your pricing strategy. For small business owners, especially women, setting high prices can be uncomfortable, because we're worried that clients and prospective clients will walk away. However, underpricing your services is like setting yourself up for failure before you even start. Pricing isn't just about picking a number that sounds good; it’s about positioning yourself and your services in a way that attracts the right clients and sustains your business.

    Episode 68 Timestamp Overview:

    00:00 Pricing is a powerful business tool to increase stability and attract ideal clients.

    03:10 Women entrepreneurs underprice. Break free from poverty of money.

    05:46 No one-size-fits-all price, feast or famine cycle.

    08:43 Levels of pricing for different sizes of businesses and quality expected from clients.

    13:07 The downfall of placing yourself in the middle of the spectrum.

    15:00 Quickest solution is to raise your prices.

    18:51 Pricing is positioning; use Get Paid Like a CEO toolkit to plan a realistic revenue goal.
