How to Make Time for Hobbies & Rest as an Online Business Owner

How to Make Time for Hobbies & Rest as an Online Business Owner

Sometimes, something weird happens when you turn your creative passion into your business: you stop enjoying it as much.

You focus less on doing it for fun and more on how much money you are or are not making.

The business you initially started because you wanted creative freedom and fulfillment sometimes ends up holding you, your mind and your time prisoner. Before you know it, you’re always working or thinking about your work, your clients, your todo list, and your business growth. Fun, passion, rest, and hobbies become a thing of the past.

If this sounds familiar, today's brand new podcast episode has your name allll over it.

"Charge What You’re Worth” is BAD advice

"Charge What You’re Worth” is BAD advice

“Charge what you’re worth” is meant to empower solopreneurs, but it often causes them to undercharge or overcharge. Stick with this video if you want to learn the key to charging the RIGHT AMOUNT.

This saying is thrown around the internet a lot but I couldn’t disagree more. Here are three reasons why:

01.

Your ideal client doesn't really care what YOU are worth. They care about the transformation your service provides, and what THAT is worth.

So if you get a lot of clients saying you're too expensive, take a look at your marketing message: are you speaking about the service itself, the deliverables, your years of experience, where you studied etc?

OR are you focusing on talking about the transformation your service creates for your client?⁠

Will your service help them get more sales?

More subscribers?

Those are examples of external transformations.

Internal: How does your client feel now compared to how theyll feel after your service? For example, they may fee

How will your service get them from where they are to where they want to be?

The more you can emphasize just how your client’s lives or businesses or whatever will transform after they work with you, the higher they will value your service. Because they’re not really buying a service from you. They’re investing in a transformation.

The Simplest & Fastest Way to Attract More Clients? Pick a niche!

The Simplest & Fastest Way to Attract More Clients? Pick a niche!

Looking for a simple way to attract more clients or sales? I’m going to show you how narrowing my niche helped me make over $278,000 & counting.

I help a lot of solopreneurs who are struggling to reach consistent 5k months and book clients consistently. And they all have one thing in common:

No niche!

Sound familiar? Maybe you’re a life coach who helps boutiques, freelance designers, dog walkers, accountants AND law firms.

Or maybe you’re a freelance artist who sells website design, photography, coaching AND copywriting.

Mistake:

When you try and speak to EVERYBODY, you speak to NOBODY.

You make NOBODY land on your website & think “this girl GETS ME, it’s like she’s in my head!!”

And that’s the kind of connection you need to make with your ideal clients & customers if you’re going to convince them to pay you hundreds or thousands of their hard-earned cash.
