I've talked before about how we corporate escapees start our service-based businesses as consultants, coaches, or healers because we: Have skills and talents we love to use that we want to share with the world Figured out the solution to a problem and want to share that solution with others who need it Feel called to a mission and want to dedicate our lives to making a difference So we're out on our own and we suddenly come face to face with our own crap. We discover we hate selling and aren't too crazy about marketing either. We struggle to talk about ourselves and the value we bring to others. And we can really struggle with money issues. We undercharge. We don't stay focused on the numbers and key performance indicators for running a profitable business. I say "we" because this has certainly been true for me. But it doesn't have to be this way. It's time to embrace our power…and that starts with understanding everything involved with pricing for profitability. My guest today is Justin Krane.
