In this episode I chat with Jess about her experience in raising prices as well as her best tips for managing a business, stewarding your time and the lessons she has learnt in running a small business. Jess has grown her clients to over 20 and is an incredible digital marketer. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/13425095\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/backward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/b65657\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"100%\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Here\u2019s the highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[6.40] Jess: <\/strong>The hardest business lesson that I\u2019ve had to learn is to just say yes to what lights me up. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[7.25] Jess: <\/strong>I\u2019m growing really quickly here and if I spread myself to thin, I am going to be doing a mediocre job at a lot of things, rather than a fantastic job at a few. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[7:40] Jess:<\/strong> \u201cIf it\u2019s not 100% a \u2018Heck yes&#8217;  then it\u2019s a \u2018Heck no\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[8.15] Hannah: <\/strong>We shouldn\u2019t just say yes because we\u2019re scared to say no or we don\u2019t know how to say no.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[9.07] Jess:<\/strong> You have to be very clear on what you expect from the client and vice versa. It\u2019s important that your relationship is mutually beneficial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[11.01] Jess:<\/strong> \u201cI am the boss.\u201d I think we tend to forget that sometimes, I know I do. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[11.37] Jess: <\/strong>In the last 6 months I\u2019ve had a huge mindset shift\u2026 in terms of my whole money mindset. At the start I was really charging money for my time, and now I\u2019ve recently realised that it\u2019s not an exchange of time, it\u2019s an exchange of value. They\u2019re paying you for the continuous time that you\u2019re training yourself and upskilling yourself. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[14.09] Jess: <\/strong>Understand and recognise that over time, your value is growing. And if that\u2019s getting more valuable to people, then you need to be keeping up with that in terms of what you\u2019re charging. Because the thing is, you\u2019ll be spreading yourself too thin across too many people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[17.03] Jess: <\/strong>The biggest tip that I would tell somebody who is increasing their price would be to just be upfront and honest with your clients. Jump on the phone with them, they\u2019re not scary, you\u2019ve been working with them for however much time and they can see the value that you\u2019ve brought to the table. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[20.07] Jess: <\/strong>It was a combination of the overwhelm and burnout that really made me realise that maybe I had so many clients because I was undercharging so much. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[27.53] Jess: <\/strong>I think Steven Furtick said: \u201cGrowing often feels like breaking at first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>[28.01] Jess: <\/strong>That stretching time in your business is as painful as anything. But once you come out the other side and you can recognise that it was all worth it, that you\u2019re adding value, you\u2019re so much more confident in telling people why things are happening, you don\u2019t have to justify it because you believe it yourself. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-block-button-container--center\" data-animation-role=\"button\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-button-size=\"medium\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2zFNU9tejKhXZ7iOFk1o4O?si=L6v6F-vlTLye97OBeKpOtg\" class=\"sqs-block-button-element--medium sqs-block-button-element\" >Spotify<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sqs-block-button-container--center\" data-animation-role=\"button\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-button-size=\"medium\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/au\/podcast\/taking-action\/id1500680426\" class=\"sqs-block-button-element--medium sqs-block-button-element\" >Apple Podcasts<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-block-button-container--center\" data-animation-role=\"button\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-button-size=\"medium\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.profitableschedule.com\/free\" class=\"sqs-block-button-element--medium sqs-block-button-element\" >craving a consistent schedule?
