What money myths are you running your business by? Your views and beliefs about money can really help propel your business forward or hold it back. I hear it all the time with clients, certain money myths that are said over and over again. But itâs often coupled with a desire to grow the business and reach bigger financial goals. However, if you donât pick up on those money myths youâre telling yourself, you will not reach the goals you set. So how can you change that?
It starts with picking up on those myths youâre telling yourself and busting them! So, in this weekâs episode of The Pricing Queen, thatâs what weâre going to do. Weâre going to be covering the most common ones, including:
Money myth #1: I donât need to plan as I have enough money [0:52]Hereâs how to make budgets seem less boring [1:29]Money myth #2: Someone else manages my finances, so I donât have to [2:23]The one thing youâre responsible for [3:14]Money myth #3: Iâm rubbish with money (or with maths) [4:23]My recommended resource for money mindset [4:35]Money myth #4: I canât afford it [5:42]What if other people canât afford you? [7:05]Money myth #5: I canât charge that [7:21]A simple pricing increase strategy [7:51]Resources:Get help with working out your pricing - http://www.thepricingqueen.com/pricing-calculator.

Do you want to hit 2023 with a bang? Do you know where youâre headed in the next 12 months? Planning is so important for your business, because without a plan you will not hit those goals, wonât know what content to create and will not understand where your business is going.
And with no way of being able to plan or make decisions to grow your business, youâll just end up sort of bumbling along with no actual way of making the money you want or getting your business where you want it to go.
So in this weekâs episode of The Pricing Queen, weâre going to turn that around! Planning is so beneficial to your business and Iâm going to explain why it is and what you need to be looking at to create a great plan. So weâre going to be covering:
Why itâs so important to plan [0:54]If youâre currently bumbling along, hereâs why thatâs happening [1:27]Why planning and pricing go together so well [1:45]Questions to ask if you want to grow your business in 2023 [2:46]How 90 day sprints fit into your business planning [3:38]Things that are often forgotten when planning for the year ahead [4:13]What to do if youâre not a natural planner [4:40]What to look at with costs and revenue [5:22]Looking at your goals for the year ahead [6:03]Resources:Get help with working out your pricing - http://www.thepricingqueen.com/pricing-calculator.

Batching is so useful for you and your business.

Have you ever wondered how to set pricing for charities and non-profits? Maybe you want to give back more but donât know where to start and how to price accordingly.

But it is possible to give away your time for free, in a more structured way in your business.
Itâs a subject I had the recent pleasure of speaking about with Rosie Gilderthorp.

Are you guilty of people pleasing, perfectionism or overthinking? And how does that come across in your business and your pricing? You may not immediately think the two are connected, but the emotional baggage that causes your people-pleasing or perfectionist habits impacts on what youâre willing to settle for in business, especially with boundaries and pricing.
Itâs an important topic and one I chat to Natalie Lue about for this podcast episode.

Because that VAT threshold isn't something to be scared of, and yet, it stops people from growing and reaching their potential. So todayâs podcast is a bit of a technical episode, but itâs short so you can get it in bite-sized chunks!
