How dare she
Gina hired me because she had a terrible fear of raising her prices. This fear was SO paralyzing, she’d been charging the same prices for five years. Every time she tried to say the higher price to a potential client on the phone, her throat would close and she’d literally choke on the words. So…

One of my clients during an in-person retreat One of my longtime mentors, Voge Smith, told me an amazing story the other day (it’s so good, she put it in her book). An old Zen story of a man who’d spent his entire life searching for God. On his long and arduous search spanning…

I had a client fretting this week because she raised her prices and she got a “no” from someone she quoted the new price to. She was going into self-doubt about raising her price and questioning herself. She’d felt her client’s money fear and it got to her. Now — I think this IS…
