  Please note that this episode is lifted from a live recording in my Dishing Up Digital group and does have slides attached that are sometimes referred to. However, I do read these out so you're not missing out!     For any business owner, increasing your prices can be a hard area to navigate. It's good to remember that increasing your prices is key to building a consistent and sustainable business. We often avoid raising our prices out of fear people will say no: and yep, it happens! There has to be a balance of creating prices that cover your expenses and contribute to your profit, as well as listening to your gut and having a price that is within your level of comfort.   In this episode, I go over the following in order to help your increase your prices: Why to do it When to do it How to do it  ~~~ Thank you so much for listening.
