The Chris Harder Show

I just got back from one of the most amazing hotel stays that I've ever experienced, and it got me thinking about how to justify charging more for your services. If you want to raise your prices and have people excited to pay that premium, then you need to act and deliver like a five-star service. I share what I learned about the hiring process at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts that sets them apart and how they empower their staff to go above and beyond for guests. Plus, I illustrate how you can apply these lessons to business and beyond. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Earning the right to raise your rates Refining your interviewing and hiring process Asking yourself if you're charging enough Simple ways that you can go the extra mile for your clients RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.

Lori just got back from the Powerhouse Women event and it was amazing. She had so many moments where she had tears in her eyes watching others rise and be the person that they came here to be. One speaker stood out to her with something she said, so she came home and immediately shared it with me, which inspired us to talk about it in today's episode. Jasmine Star blew her mind when she said "Overwhelm is the abundance of everything you ever wished and prayed for coming in all at once." IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The different kinds of overwhelm How to become a different person as you adjust to having more things come to fruition How to practice gratitude in times of overwhelm How to frame your next hour, day, week or month when overwhelm hits RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras to boost your day.
