## Show Notes-How to Get Paid What You’re Worth

- Michelle asks listeners some money and pricing related questions
  - Have you struggled asserting your authority and translating that into your pay?
  - Do you struggle with raising your rates as an entrepreneur/freelancer/course creator/or coach?
  - You know you’re NOT charging what you KNOW you’re products/goods/services are worth
  - Have you had a hard time communicating UNAPOLOGETICALLY and UNFLINCHINGLY the prices that you have decided that you will be paid.
  - What do you believe regarding your worth?

- Self-talk is at the heart of these money related questions

- Most of us have a lack of clarity about what we are bringing to the table
  - Hard skills
    - Technology knowledge
    - Systems
  - Soft Skills
    - How to connect with people/customers/clients

- Grab a piece of paper and begin writing!

- Today I raised the prices to my “Make Money with Ebooks” course
  - This time it was ridiculously easy to raise my prices

- Why was it easy for me to raise my course prices?
  - 12 months of working, running, and tweaking the program
  - Working with students daily for 12 months-330+ days in a year
  - Students achieved outcomes: publishing their books, making money, leveraging their knowledge, and getting accolades

- Complete clarity on course benefits for students
  - Eliminate time researching for answers to their questions
  - Upon purchase or the Group and VIP tiers-they are automatically in a community of like-minded people who believe in what the other students are trying to do.
  - Immediate access to all of the tools that they need to succeed.

- How did I know energetically/intuitively that it was the right time to raise the price?
  - Course longevity
  - Student results and student happiness
  - Noticing that the lower the amount the student paid the more difficult it was to get them to do the work. Other course creators have noticed the same thing.
  - Researching other courses for sale in my niche
  - Receiving feedback from other people regarding my course pricing
  - It became a “no brainer” that I should raise my prices.

- Freelancers!
  - So much work that it’s easy to just take anything. I totally get it and I’ve been there.
  - Focus on what you can control
    - Always pitch higher paying clients
    - Do not do hourly work
    - Always be onboarding
    - Love your clients, but don’t love them more than yourself
    - Build passive income into your business!!!!
      - It will take about a year to do this. You will thank me when you’re looking at passive income payments that hit your bank account.
    - Grow an email list related to you and the services that you provide and the niche that you’re in.
    - What is your upsell? Do you have one
    - NEVER apologize for your pricing, that’s the doorway to saying “Yes” to lower rates.
    - Focus on attracting the clients and projects that pay the type of money you want to earn.
    - Understand what you bring to your clients
      - Your expertise
      - Your knowledge
      - Your professionalism
