Question: “How do I determine the value I provide my clients?”
My response:
In a world where certain executives are paid hundreds of millions of dollars even when their banks fail, and other people aren’t paid a living wage for offering essential services… questions of “value” and “compensation” can look pretty confusing, right? (more…)
Here’s the full question:
“I came from a background that doesn’t value the gifts that I have developed. How can I learn to value my spiritual, creative and emotional gifts enough to feel that they are worth being paid for? If I don’t value them and see them as marketable, who will?”
Great question!
Here’s what I say a thousand times to my clients: how you vote on your value from one minute to the next is not reliable or even useful.
You don’t want to set your fees based on your mood or self esteem on a particular day. When in doubt look at yourself and your gifts through your Money Honey’s eyes. He (or she) will ALWAYS see your best, and that’s how to value yourself.

One of the most surprising things I’ve discovered as a coach is the power of doing LESS. A little goes a long way. Nothing will build your confidence and momentum like setting small, achievable goals that you will actually accomplish! Let the phrase “under-promise and over-deliver” be your guide. In other words, commit to less for the sake of accomplishing more.
