The first big leap is transitioning from corporate employee into full-time self-employed business owner, solopreneur, or freelancer. But what about the next big leap... How do you go from surviving in the business to thriving? How do you raise your rates?
✔️ If you Google "how to raise your prices," you're gonna get a lot of bad advice, IMO. If you don't believe me, try it out and see what comes up.
✔️ You are not a defendant in a courtroom. You should not approach a price increase by justifying yourself, the increase, inflation, etc. You also should not apologize and act like it's the end of the world.
✔️ If being direct with customers scares you, practice in the mirror or with a friend/family member/coach until you can feel the fear and do it anyway.
✔️ You have to understand your own value first. You cannot expect your clients or prospects to understand it for you.
✔️ Weigh and measure your own motivation. How badly do you want more disposable income? To retire someday? To take the kids to Disney World? To get a new car?
