Why Pay Him That?

Taking a full commission job in a place where the infrastructure was not set up was an eye opener in many ways. However the biggest lesson was what happened after I was working so hard “but for free.” The courage to take the risk and do the role was ignored. The working for free was remembered and became a burden that affected what I could charge for my services.
It’s a lesson many business owners will want to take to heart when setting their pricing

Does Your Price Communicate Knockoff or Quality

Ever seen a replica watch that looks perfect compared to the original for a fraction of the price. Would you buy it and then wear it as a sign of your “success?” On the other hand, would you sell a luxury watch at the same price as a knockoff?

Probably not.. but then why do many business owners do the same and get to the lowest denominator when it comes to their pricing.

Stop this madness and join our Pricing Mastery & Business Acceleration Advisory Mastermind on Dec 5th. It’s not about being the cheapest; it’s about being excellent and letting your pricing tell that about you to your market.

Give me that Toothache Back

Ever heard the one about Bob? The guy who thought a dentist’s 3-minute miracle and a tax advisor’s 2-hour save were too pricey? He dodged their bills only to face a $25,000 tax fine plus interest and a sore mouth – courtesy of his own folly.

Ridiculous, right? But here’s a head-scratcher – why do brilliant business owners still cling to hourly billing when impact is what truly counts?

Win or Take Your Business Home

The shock replacement of a baseball team’s manager out of the blue reinforced a lesson that we can take to heart. Just like a team’s wins and losses affect the experience of their fans or customers, so does your daily interaction (or non interaction) with your clients. If your customer’s experience isn’t superior they can fire you as quickly as this poor baseball manager.

Culture and Growth

Often, terms like “culture” and “growth” are thrown around in the business world as buzzwords. But let’s get real here; culture isn’t just a buzzword. It has solid consequences that can result in lost potential.

For example, in this article I show an example of two cultures in one membership subscription organisation trying to put together an event between the two groups.

But when rigidity overshadows flexibility, a valuable chance slips away for one of the groups.

For business leaders, this highlights the importance of trust and delegation. Are our cultural norms holding us back? Delve deeper to understand the true impact of culture on growth.
