I raised my prices, and bought my own life back! I was working too hard, because I thought I needed to, financially. But as soon as I decided to only see three clients a day, and was very clear with prospective clients that that was my policy, no one blinked. I'm booked solidly and now take two days off. Phew!
Good luck, Jane! Stephanie

Raising your prices by: Dawn Abraham
Jane,
I'm glad you asked the question about raising your prices. I have many clients that feel the same way about raising the rates for their services. What I tell them is, many people don't realize if you under charge you take away the value of your service. People don't mind paying for something if they know what they're getting is worth it.
You may be surprised at how your business increases when you raise your rates. Often people feel if it's too cheap it must not be good. By raising your prices you increase your credibility. Don't be afraid to ask for what your worth, you deserve it. Even if you lose some clients you will gain others. In the long run you will be making more money per client so you will be ahead and have more time to grow your business.
Remember Jane you are running a business. If people want a typed transcript charge extra for that. It's worth it. Sometimes the people doing inspired spiritual work feel bad for charging, don't. You are doing great work and you deserve to be paid for it.
Your next step should be to have a web site and really expand your business on a global level where you can sell products like your oils do tele-seminars that reach hundreds of people. The sky is the limit.
