Is your pricing aligned - and how can you tell?

I can't wait to explore this with you. I think it's something that as entrepreneurs, we think about a lot - what is the right pricing for us? What is the right pricing for our ideal clients?

Today, we're going into this in detail. Looking at the pricing you have now, and considering if there are any changes that you might like to make moving forward. Because it's so incredibly personal to decide on the right pricing for you. Sometimes people can feel like there is just this magic number and almost might hope that somebody else is going to tell them what that number is. However, a big part of pricing is really owning the pricing that you choose - and running with that.

First, my money mentor...

I want to acknowledge the most significant mentor I've worked with on money and on pricing - Denise Duffield-Thomas. I'm sure many of you are already familiar with Denise. I joined Denise's money bootcamp in 2012. So that tells you I...

When aligned inspiration crosses over into copying.

I've got a really juicy episode for you today... Aligned inspiration and the concept of copying - it can sometimes be a bit of a grey area. When you feel a strong resonance with certain names or terms or content - and there's lots of different people in the industry who might be talking about similar kinds of topics - it can be tricky to feel where the boundaries actually are.  

So, we're going to explore this and develop more of a refinement and understanding of where our boundaries are, and how we can also avoid crossing over the boundaries of others. Because even though it is true that, sure, there's not a lot of new and unique content out there, it is actually possible to create something that is new and unique and to tap into your own creativity.

Does it take more work? Of course it does, but is it worth it? Yes, especially if you're creating something that you want to grow and run with. The stronger and deeper...

Business goals - how do you decide what to align to?

I'm so glad you asked! This is something I absolutely love to work on with my clients. You might come back to this one later and write down some of your own goals, because an important part of the process is getting clarity on what you want. What's actually important to you, not to your peers, not to your mentor, not to somebody else in your life. What's actually important to you.

Aligning to business goals is something that we focus on a lot in my Align and Attract group program. If you're not in the program yet, it's fine because there's so much value in this process of just getting clarity on what it is that you want. And if you do want to align to your goals within the Align and Attract program, it's there for you whenever you are ready to join.

So, let's get clear...

Clarity is one of the keys to alignment... And so is self-awareness.

Clarity and self-awareness really go hand-in-hand in this process. To...

Do you have an alignment problem, or do you have a strategy problem?

Such a juicy topic. For many of us, it can be difficult to tell. I want you to think about a problem or an issue, a challenge that you've had in your business in the past, or perhaps something that you're experiencing at the moment. It might be a launch that didn't go so well. It might be a gap in your business where you feel like you're not making enough income. You might not be attracting enough clients... When you look at that, would you guess that it's more likely to be an alignment issue - something within you - that is preventing you from being able to achieve those kinds of outcomes that you're looking for?

Or, do you think it's just something you need to learn?

It could be something that is more of a strategy issue. And if you were to make some really practical changes in your business, that would help you to move through those blocks and to create a greater level of success. Let's look at...
