[PRESS] TRFE 163: Money Struggles, Fears, and Desperation as a Biz Owner with Helene Kwong

November 29, 2017 by Helene Kwong Leave a Comment

Featured on The Real Female Entrepreneur, November 29, 2017.

Our CEO Helene was featured on The Real Female Entrepreneur (TRFE) podcast talking about the "other" side of being a business owner: the money struggles and fears.

EPISODE SNEAK PEEK:

”When I charge less than what I’d like to be paid, I feel like I usually pull that card out in desperation. I’d rather have something coming in than nothing.”

WHAT’S IN THIS EPISODE?

I want to have more convos about money and business. Starting today. Because getting comfortable asking for money, charging more to up-level your business, and finding that sweet spot where you can charge what you want to get paid and also work with your dream customers is a freaking roller-coaster ride.

So, I asked my friend Helene Kwong to come on and share about her own journey. We’re not sharing some 3-step formula for how to make six-figures or how to charge more. We’re just sharing honestly about our own journeys with money as entrepreneurs.

We’re talking about…

  • Figuring out what’s a fair price that you’re happy with and your customer is willing to pay
  • The problem with pricing yourself lower to try to make yourself more available and attractive for certain clients
  • Why you’re current pricing model should be based on where you want to be
  • Accepting less than what you want out of desperation
  • The fears we have with increasing our prices
  • How charging less than you’re worth leads to resentment
  • What the law of attraction has to do with money and business

Listen to the episode here.
