How can you charge 4-figures for your coaching package? Even if you have charged more than $1000 before, this will still come up for my clients who have thoughts around what coaching is worth, and not believing someone will pay them a certain amount when they increase their prices. So let’s get down to business!

So here are the things I think you need to get your brain around:

   ✨ The value of emotional labour

   ✨ Getting clear on your impossible result

   ✨ Having a GOOD process you take your clients through; and

   ✨ Being the supporting actor when you think you’re the main character

First, you have to believe in the value of emotional labour. If you think about it from a societal and patriarchal perspective, emotional labor is not seen as worthy and as important than other kinds of “work”. My fiance’s mom is a personal support worker, and she spends all day dressing, bathin...

Long story short, this is my hot take:⁣
⁣
NOPE! 
⁣
And here’s why - money doesn’t magically change the course of your thoughts.⁣
⁣
Let’s say that you think you feel like a fraud because you can’t book a client. You think to yourself….⁣
⁣
❌ I’m not good enough.⁣
❌ It seems like I don’t know what I’m doing.⁣
⁣
But then yay, you sign a client! Smooth sailing now, right?! ⁣
⁣
Until the initial excitement wears off, and you’re thinking about your first call or your first project with your new client. You suddenly start to have the same thoughts, because what if you do a job and they don’t like it? What if you’re on the call with them and you don’t know what to say?⁣

If you feel like an imposter and think you’ll be cured by someone signing a contract...I can guarantee you, it’s your thoughts...

So today's episode is actually something that I found in my notes. I was like, what am I going to talk about this month? And I came across, "does finally making money make you feel less like an imposter". 

I wanted to create a conversation around this because usually when it comes to exchanging our services for money, we feel like that means that it's legit. That means that it's real for me. I kept feeling in the beginning that my business wasn't real until I started making money. It didn't help reading stuff from somebody who was pretty prominent in the industry saying, "you're not running a business if you're not making money". And I really revolted against that, probably because I took it very personally, but also because I was reading it and like thinking to myself that, wow, I guess I'm not running a business then, which just perpetuated my own feelings of imposter syndro...
