If you’ve had days like I’ve had, nothing can stop you.

You’re focused. You’re a machine. The ideas and content flow. You see the vision, the big picture, and you don’t doubt for a second that you have the knowledge, skill and ability to get there. You wake up early and work out. You nourish your body. You take action. You get the right people and invest in the right resources. You’re consistent. You focus on progress, not perfection.

And if you’ve had days like I’ve had, you doubt yourself.

You wish you had more time. You wonder if you’re doing it right. You worry if you’re ever going to make enough money to quit your day job. You give and give and give, sacrifice time with family and friends, eat like crap and skip your workouts because you never learned how to say no.

You feel that tightness in your chest and stinging in your eyes as you try to breathe away the tears on those days where nothing goes the way it’s supposed to. You think that you might as well just start looking for a new job and throw in the towel on this whole online business-work-from-anywhere-be-your-own-boss thing because it feels like a total myth.

And then you realize that you’ve been trying to do it all yourself.

I mean ALL of it. Figuring out what you need to learn and learning it. Then implementing it. Then figuring out how to make the connection between what you KNOW and what people NEED from you. Figuring out how to package that knowledge and how to motivate people to buy it. Not to mention creating new content, being present in social media, building your list.

It’s a lot. And if you feel at all like you’re sinking, you’re not alone. And if you’re not to that point yet, it’s coming.

Going it alone doesn’t have to be lonely. And those aren’t my words – that’s Sara and Christina of One Woman Shop, an amazing resource for solopreneurs – learn more about them here!

Pricing, Proposal & Sales Strategy For Freelancers, Fractional Execs & Consultants

ANCHOR HIGH™ PODCAST

Pricing Strategy for Service Providers & Consultants

If you sell your expertise and hands-on implementation, deliver solid work and have happy clients – but you’re maxed out and feel like you’ve hit an income ceiling, this show is for you.

Each short episode breaks down how pricing psychology and proposal strategy influence prospects’ decision-making and helps you rethink everything you thought you knew about how much you can really charge for your services and expertise.

THE PACKAGE MATRIX™ METHOD

The Package Matrix™ Method is a pricing framework built on behavioral economics, sales psychology and a decade of results. It strategically designs a value-based decision for your clients, so you stop pricing based on what you think they can afford and start pricing based on the value they can create by working with you.
