And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power. The Three Most Common Pricing Mistakes
Finding the ideal pricing for your offer can be a fraught process, riddled with stress and self-doubt. This is especially true for young entrepreneurs who don’t yet have the confidence that comes with repeatedly demonstrating the true value of their product. It also strongly applies to women, many of whom have been conditioned to undervalue themselves and prioritize the needs of others.
That is why today’s episode is all about cultivating the right mindset for pricing your offers. We break down how the wrong mindset can lead to key missteps in pricing, the consequences thereof, and what you can do to find your pricing sweet spot. We unpack the many pitfalls of undercharging, why overcharging usually comes down to confidence, and the reason why most of us can afford to be more strategic with our discounts. You’ll also hear us share details of our own pricing journey and the transformative power of confidence.
