In this solo-cast episode of RWS Clinician's Corner, Margaret talks about something we don't discuss enough - how your financial health impacts your ability to show up for clients. Let's face it - when you're stressed about money, it affects everything. Undercharging isn't noble; it's actually draining you and may even impact the quality of care you provide. Margaret emphasizes that charging what you're worth is an act of integrity that benefits everyone and allows for true long-term success. The fact is, this work changes lives, and it deserves to be valued appropriately. The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by Restorative Wellness Solutions.

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette interviews Kyle Van Deusen, who runs a small web agency in Richmond, Virginia, and founded "The Admin Bar," a community for freelancers and agency owners. They discuss the 2025 WordPress Professional Survey, which Kyle conducted to gather insights from web professionals. The survey, which received 1,233 responses, highlights the experiences and challenges faced by freelancers and agency owners.Top TakeawaysMany Agency Owners Lack Business Fundamentals: A lot of agency owners start by accident, not with a business plan. As a result, many undercharge and lack confidence in setting prices. Kyle pointed out that few are reaching their income goals—not due to market limits, but because they don't know what's possible. This shows a big need for basic business education around pricing, value, and financial planning.Marketing and Networking Are Largely Overlooked: Nearly 60% of respondents aren't doing in-person networking, and many aren't investing in marketing. Too many rely on being found organically, which isn't enough anymore. Kyle and Michelle highlighted that growth requires showing up, building relationships, and actively promoting your services.Community Helps Build Confidence and Clarity: Talking with peers can shift your mindset and pricing strategy. Kyle shared how learning what others charged helped him raise his rates confidently. Community support helps agency owners avoid mistakes, learn faster, and feel less alone in their journey.The Survey Is a Valuable, Underused Resource: Kyle stressed that the real power of the survey lies in how people use it. By digging into the data, agency owners can find paths others have taken to success. The more participation it gets, the more valuable and representative it becomes for the whole community.Mentioned in the Show:https://theadminbar.com/2025-survey/https://theadminbar.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/2147806538801573

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
This milestone episode is a powerful and heartfelt exploration of one of the most tender and transformative topics: self-worth. So many physicians struggle with valuing themselves, charging fairly for their services, and letting go of guilt rooted in self-sacrifice. This episode is inspired by real conversations with courageous clients and a vulnerable moment of my own It is is a call to unlearn the deeply embedded scarcity mindset that pervades our training—and to embrace sustainability, worthiness, and alignment instead. If you've ever questioned what you're allowed to charge, how to talk about your value, or whether you're worthy of being paid well for the impact you offer, this episode is for you. Pearls of Wisdom: Scarcity is medicine's default mindset—and it's unsustainable. Unlearning guilt and martyrdom opens the door to peace, passion, and possibility. When we value ourselves and our expertise, others do too. Charging fairly isn't greedy—it's grounded and essential for sustainability. Pricing isn't about market rate or insurance reimbursements. It's about alignment, reciprocity, and choosing what allows you to serve from peace. Undercharging has hidden costs: resentment, burnout, and a devaluation of your work and wisdom. You don't have to choose between helping others and honoring your worth—you can do both, intentionally and mindfully. Reflection Questions: Where do guilt and fear show up in your decisions about money, time, or value? What would change if you trusted in your impact and led from self-worth? What would peace charge? The mindful moment will help you notice what arises when you hear conversations about money, scarcity, and value. It's an invitation to pause, breathe, and bring compassion to your experience. If this conversation resonates, know that this is the kind of deep, transformational work I do in my coaching practice and at retreats. If you're struggling to charge what you're worth, to feel valued, or to hold boundaries from a place of alignment, I invite you to explore working with me one-on-one or in a small group. Learn more about coaching You can also join me at one of my upcoming mindful physician retreats—they are the perfect space to reconnect with your worth, realign your life and work, and build sustainable change in community. To bring this powerful message to your institution, leadership team, or conference, I would love to speak and share my keynote, The School of Unlearning—it's changing conversations and cultures in medicine everywhere.

CHRISTIAN LIFE COACH COLLECTIVE- Change Your Life, Start a Coaching Business, Walk in Your Calling
PRICES REFLECT VALUE, NOT TIME- Many coaches struggle with pricing their services because they believe they're simply “talking” to people. In this episode, we bust the myth that coaching isn't worth premium pricing and explore why your fees should reflect the transformation you provide, not just the time you spend. Learn how to confidently communicate your value, set prices that match your impact, and shift your mindset from trading time for money to charging based on results. Key Takeaways: Coaching isn't just about conversation—it's about transformation. Your clients aren't paying for your time; they're paying for the clarity, breakthroughs, and action plans you help them create. Undercharging devalues your work and leads to burnout. Pricing should reflect the depth of the impact you provide. Confidence in your pricing starts with understanding the real results you deliver. Clearly communicate the benefits of working with you. If you aren't quite sure in the beginning, ask your clients to get language for the results they are getting! Shift from charging for time to charging for results. Packages, programs, and higher pricing models help you earn more without overworking. Listener Challenge: Take a moment to assess your current pricing. Does it truly reflect the value you provide? If not, rewrite your pricing based on transformation, not time. Then, practice using this value-based pricing script when discussing your fees with potential clients: "My coaching program isn't just about our sessions together—it's about the transformation you'll experience. Clients who work with me [achieve specific result] within [timeframe]. The investment for this level of support is [$X], because I'm committed to helping you get real, lasting results."

Most gym owners don't make enough money—not because they need more clients but because their rates are too low. In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Chris Cooper explains how to set your prices the right way so your gym becomes profitable and pays you what you deserve. Too many gym owners copy their competitors' pricing or assume their clients can't afford to pay more. Chris walks you through a better approach, starting with using the Rule of 50 to determine your minimum membership price. He explains how to set a target for average revenue per member (ARM) and why constantly chasing more clients won't increase your gym's profitability if your rates are too low. Using a profit-and-loss statement (P&L), he shows you exactly how to calculate rates that cover your gym's expenses with 50 members so you can build a strong, profitable business.

In this episode, Keith Kelfis shares a personal story about cutting corners on a landscaping job due to fear and lack of confidence. He recalls how he started his landscaping business with an obsessive focus on quality and customer care, only to land a wealthy client whose massive property overwhelmed him. Keith recounts undercharging for extensive landscaping work and making a critical error by not using enough weed barrier fabric. This mistake haunted him for years, teaching him valuable lessons about knowing his worth and the importance of doing the job right the first time. He emphasizes the significance of providing top-notch work and charging appropriately, highlighting the stress and emotional toll of undercharging and cutting corners. Keith also touches on using Jobber Software to improve his business operations. With a focus on continuous improvement and learning from mistakes, Keith aims to inspire landscapers to deliver exceptional results and run healthy businesses. "True mastery in business comes from the pain and suffering of lessons learned the hard way. Charge what you're worth, commit to top-quality work, and never let fear drive your decisions. Build your confidence, stay connected to your heart, and you'll create a business that serves both your clients and your dreams." - Keith Kalfas Topics Covered: Establishing the Landscaping Business The Wealthy Client Experience Financial and Emotional Struggles Examples of Other Business Challenges Key Takeaways Undercharging and Low Self-Esteem: Starting out with low confidence led to significantly undercharging for services, which resulted in cutting corners and causing long-term stress. Learning from Mistakes: Hard lessons were learned about the importance of charging appropriately for work to ensure quality and avoid future stress and financial strain. Importance of Self-Worth in Business: Understanding and valuing one's worth is crucial for running a successful business, delivering high-quality work, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Podcast Episode NotesWelcome to Outside the Treatment RoomThe podcast about the business side of the beauty industry. I'm your host, Connie Holm.Episode Title: Are You Earning Less Than Minimum Wage? IntroductionWelcome back to Outside the Treatment Room! Today we're tackling a tough topic that might make you a little uncomfortable: Are you unknowingly earning less than minimum wage?In this episode, I'll break down the numbers, explain why this happens, and give you actionable tips to shift from working hard to working smart. So grab a coffee, let's get real, and let's talk money!Many solo estheticians feel like they're earning great money because they're booked solid and bringing in cash. But after expenses, rent, taxes, and time spent on unpaid tasks, the reality can be shocking.Example: If you charge $100 for a facial, but products, rent, and insurance eat into your profits, your real income per hour could be closer to minimum wage (or even less!).Reflection Question: When's the last time you calculated your real hourly rate?If you haven't, don't worry—we're going to do the math together.Here's how to calculate your hourly rate:Gross Income: Total monthly earnings (e.g., $4,000).Expenses: Subtract rent, products, insurance, taxes, and supplies (e.g., $2,000).Net Income: What's left ($4,000 - $2,000 = $2,000).Divide by Hours Worked: If you worked 160 hours, that's $2,000 / 160 = $12.50/hour.This number has to cover everything: sick days, health benefits, and retirement. If your hourly rate surprises you, don't worry—I'm here to help you fix it.Undercharging for Services: If you haven't raised prices in years, rising costs (like inflation) mean you're earning less. Example: Gloves that once cost $6 now cost $22—you must pass these increases on to clients.Too Much Discounting: Promotions are great occasionally, but constant discounts devalue your work.Hidden Expenses: Fancy packaging, unused software, or premium products can drain profits.Unpaid Time: You're also your own receptionist, marketer, and cleaner. Those hours count!Does any of this sound familiar? If so, let's focus on solutions.Here are 5 actionable steps to increase your income:Raise Your Prices: If it's been more than a year, start small with $5-$10 per service. Your expertise has value, and clients expect increases.Streamline Services: Focus on high-profit treatments that take less time and product. Stop offering unprofitable services.Track Expenses: Audit your expenses. Cancel unused subscriptions, buy in bulk, and optimize your budget. (Example: I use Zoom Premium only for my September laser events and cancel it for the rest of the year.)Charge for Your Time: Enforce no-show fees, cancellation policies, and charge appropriately for consultations.Set Income Goals: Break your monthly income target into weekly and daily benchmarks. Know how many services you need to hit your goals.Here's your homework:Sit down this week and calculate your real hourly rate.If you don't like the number, use today's tips as your starting point for change.Key Takeaway: You didn't start your business to struggle. You deserve to thrive and be paid well for the transformation you bring to your clients. You have the power to make that happen.Today's Quote: “You must gain control over your money, or the lack of it will forever control you.” —Dave RamseyWhy This Matters: I recently saw a Facebook post where many beauty professionals admitted to earning less than minimum wage—even though their businesses looked successful. My goal is to give you the tools to take control of your income and move closer to financial freedom.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Brian Zapf discuss:Financial planning and metrics for law firmsImportance of strategic investments and cost controlLeveraging financial storytelling for decision-makingBest practices for client and revenue management Key Takeaways:In addition to revenue, law firm owners should track net income and cash flow, as well as specific KPIs like effective hourly rates and client lifetime value to fully understand profitability.Payroll should be about 40-45% of revenue; excessive payroll spending can prevent firm growth and profitability, especially if partners or staff are not contributing proportional value.Firms should aim to bill upfront where possible and maintain timely follow-ups on accounts receivable to reduce cash flow issues and avoid prolonged collection struggles.Undercharging for services can lead to rapid client acquisition but may indicate undervaluing; regular market assessments can ensure competitive and profitable pricing. "The financial story goes beyond just having a financial report that your bookkeeper might give you each month.

Hello and welcome to episode 110 of Webflail. I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Zena Potter. Since 2022, she's been working as a freelance web designer and Webflow developer. She creates websites that attract, engage, and convert your target audience. But basically, she works with All sorts of different clients.She's worked with FinTech clients. She's worked with physiotherapy clients. She's done a lot of different websites in different industries before freelancing. She's worked in project management and PA consulting. So I think what's interesting about her is that she knows the client process really well, which I think a lot of web flows actually don't know as well as they need to.We'll talk a little bit about that in this episode. Another thing that we'll talk about is. Xena's approach to marketing herself as a freelancer. Alongside showing her work, she also shows behind the scenes like hiking, brunch, talking about things broader than just Webflow. So interesting to note there at the start of this episode too.But has it all been easy breezy for Zena? Of course not. The failures that we'll talk about today are:1) Not LinkedIn/networking2) Undercharging in cases where she could have charged more but lack the confidence3) Not establishing a routine as a freelancer00:00 Introduction and Initial Struggles00:28 Meet the Guest: Zena Potter01:37 Discussing Failures and Challenges04:58 Networking and Overcoming Isolation12:21 Project Management Skills in Freelancing16:12 Learning and Transitioning to Web Design17:46 Getting Clients and Marketing Strategies22:32 Importance of LinkedIn and Networking26:29 Building Connections as a Freelancer27:20 The Importance of LinkedIn Marketing28:23 Being Authentic Online29:29 Consistency and Engagement on Social Media31:58 The Slow Process of Gaining Clients35:23 The Struggle with Pricing39:00 Learning to Charge What You're Worth46:23 Balancing Fun and Financial Goals49:30 Establishing a Routine as a Freelancer53:56 Future Challenges and BoundariesWEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR ZENA

Craig Rodney talks with Jason Barnard about how to escape survival mode in your agency. Craig Rodney is a marketing agency coach with a penchant for profit and exit coaching. In 2002, at the tender age of 26, Craig founded a technology-focused PR agency that grew into Cerebra, Africa's largest social media marketing agency. in 2013, Craig and his business partner sold Cerebra to WPP, and at the end of 2016, Craig exited. After a year of mental and emotional recovery, Craig was drawn back into the agency world when he was approached by a small agency asking for his help. Since then, Craig has assisted more than 100 agencies around the world, many with their own exits. In 2022, Craig launched his Agency to Exit coaching program to complement his private agency coaching. The 10-week program aims to help agency owners create immense value for their business before their exit and makes agency owners want to keep their business. Agencies in survival mode face the challenge of balancing the urgency to generate revenue with the need to value their time appropriately. Undercharging services is a common trap that can hinder growth, as it can lead to undervaluing the agency's expertise and capabilities. To break out of this vicious cycle, it is necessary to delegate strategically and set prices that reflect true value. These are crucial steps to winning clients at a corporate level and achieving long-term success. In this episode, Craig Rodney discusses strategies for escaping survival mode in an agency. Craig takes an in-depth look at the importance of prioritizing tasks based on their criticality and whether they are essential for the agency owner to perform. He shares his approach to managing responsibilities using a "cascading waterfall analogy".

Craig Rodney talks with Jason Barnard about how to escape survival mode in your agency. Craig Rodney is a marketing agency coach with a penchant for profit and exit coaching. In 2002, at the tender age of 26, Craig founded a technology-focused PR agency that grew into Cerebra, Africa's largest social media marketing agency. in 2013, Craig and his business partner sold Cerebra to WPP, and at the end of 2016, Craig exited. After a year of mental and emotional recovery, Craig was drawn back into the agency world when he was approached by a small agency asking for his help. Since then, Craig has assisted more than 100 agencies around the world, many with their own exits. In 2022, Craig launched his Agency to Exit coaching program to complement his private agency coaching. The 10-week program aims to help agency owners create immense value for their business before their exit and makes agency owners want to keep their business. Agencies in survival mode face the challenge of balancing the urgency to generate revenue with the need to value their time appropriately. Undercharging services is a common trap that can hinder growth, as it can lead to undervaluing the agency's expertise and capabilities. To break out of this vicious cycle, it is necessary to delegate strategically and set prices that reflect true value. These are crucial steps to winning clients at a corporate level and achieving long-term success. In this episode, Craig Rodney discusses strategies for escaping survival mode in an agency. Craig takes an in-depth look at the importance of prioritizing tasks based on their criticality and whether they are essential for the agency owner to perform. He shares his approach to managing responsibilities using a "cascading waterfall analogy". The episode also discusses the concept of being "high functioning lazy", and how delegating tasks and valuing time over money can be of great benefit to an organization.

Do you struggle to figure out how to price your work so that it's actually profitable for you…and then to actually say that price out loud, without mumbling or undercutting yourself? Do you find yourself rushing to offer a discount BEFORE anyone even asks? On this episode, I'm joined by Rauni Higson, one of Britain's leading silversmiths. When I first met Rauni, she was chronically undercharging for her work, experiencing major feast or famine cycles, and generally running herself ragged teaching and taking on low-end work. Discover how Rauni learned to price her work for a profit, and effectively communicate the value of her work to clients without feeling like she had to put on airs. And how that higher pricing helped her break the cycle of needing to fill her income gap by taking on tons of other low-margin work. More from the episode How pricing your work goes beyond numbers, and plays a crucial role in helping people truly appreciate your work How having the words to talk about your work unlocks your ability to have fun connecting with clients The key differences between selling a product-based offer vs. a service offer Why we should “stay out of other people's wallets,” and what ethical practice and consent during the sales process looks like The power of networking with fellow creatives and nurturing relationships with past clients How to say “no” to commissions…for any reason About Guest Rauni Higson is one of Britain's leading silversmiths. Originally trained in Finland, her studio is located in the dramatic landscape of Snowdonia, a rich backdrop of mountainous crags and rugged coastline that inform her work.
