Raising your fees doesn’t need to mean you’re greedy or all about money. It actually has more to do with how you are seen and perceived, as well as how seriously your clients take themselves.
The fact is, under-earning is an epidemic among business owners! This is often because there is a lot of baggage that we bring to the table when pricing ourselves: self-doubt, feeling not worthy, fearing whether “anyone will pay it…” and so on.
This week I’m looking at this from a different angle: There are several good reasons to raise your fees, & they don't have anything to do with making more money. Share on X
My question to you after you watch the video: are you a chronic “under-earner?” Do you know you’re priced “too low” but have been afraid to raise your fees? Or, are you charging appropriately now because you’ve realized you were selling yourself short?
I’d love to hear your comments below!
I love the “Jersey” accent + good reminders – thanks Christine!
Oh no is it that obvious?! Haha 🙂 Thanks Angela!
Love this. It’s hard to get past the “will they pay it?” I have great experience, my clients are consistently happy– but I somehow still manage to accept less that I can get, as if kudos are currency.
Love “They invest in themselves through you.”
Thanks for this- so looking forward to Monday!
“As if kudos are currency” – wow I love how you put that! Yes, kudos don’t pay da bills, do they?? 🙂 So great seeing you this week and thanks for the comment Julia!
Great points Christine. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed Sharon!
Christine:
Great points!
I raised my rates last year because I was DEFINITELY under-priced.
And I’ve raised them significantly this year for new clients (and added a per diem minimum as well). Nobody’s yet “signed on” for the new rates, but I’m not that worried. I’m worth it.
Lawrence, I love that you feel confident about it – that goes a LONG way and is necessary! Thanks for the comment.
