Pricing is something most service business owners struggle on.
In this episode, I discuss a framework for coming up with a grounded price you can confidently get behind.
Not just plucking a figure from thin air and getting derailed when you see someone charging less.
The Framework
1. The 'Goldilocks approach'
2. Considering the value and ROI for clients
3. Your business costs, salary requirements + hours you wish to work on client work
4. How long this service takes you
5. A benchmark from the market / competitors
Look at these figures to help guide the final price you land on.

Grab a cuppa, this is a storytime episode of how I became a business owner. Spoiler I have ALWAYS wanted to be a business owner but struggled to find my passions for years. I truly love systems and there's always been clues along the way.
I often feel embarrassed about my multitude of jobs. Many of which I didn't even speak about here... but they've all provided such valuable experience that make me great at what I do now.
Hope you enjoyed this ramble in your ears! Let me know if I can improve anything for you as a listener.
