In this week's REAL TALK episode, I'm sharing 3 business lessons that I (re)learned this week by experiencing them, how I processed each situation asking myself 'what would I tell my client,' and how you can apply these lessons into your own life and business. 1 - Pricing Confidence and not tying my own self-worth to the value someone perceived my work. We stand firm in our worthiness to work with clients who value your work equally to the rates you charge. 2 - Not accommodating last minute after-hours/overtime requests and protecting my well-deserved time off. Because when push comes to shove, the price of saying 'yes' to others during your time, is saying 'no' to you and your own needs. 3 - Firing Clients and Declining Work - because you're not for everyone and everyone isn't for you. Here's a few legalities for firing, best business practices for declining a working relationship, and a friendly reminder to shine in your zone of genius and within the scope of your license/practice only. And don't forget that I want to buy you a coffee! This month, if you SUBSCRIBE and/or LEAVE A REVIEW on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, I'm treating you to your favorite bevvy.

In today's solo episode, Danielle is breaking down the 7 things all business owners should be doing before the end of the year: 1 - Encourage clients to pre-book appointments before their schedule gets crowded or they fall-off their cadence; 2 - Assess your rates, service menu, and value provided. Make sure services are worth YOUR while too. 3 - Plan annual rate increases. Yup, we're all doing it. 4 - Compare profits + expenses to maximize write-offs. More write-offs = less taxes owed. 5 - Update your Legal Agreements to match current policies and programs. 6 - Assess your back-end systems + operations to ensure efficiency and avoid future headaches. 7 - Book 1:1 Business Strategy sessions to get all of the above squared away. The goal of this episode is for you to have a strategy to finish the year strong, serve your clients better, make more money, and go into 2023 as the best business owner possible!
