This is great advice! I’m starting my business and had to come to terms with the fact that I really need to stand up for myself and do right by myself.

It was really hard at first, especially with pricing and promotion. The little voice said “you’re being greedy, you’re being pushy”. Then I realized I needed to charge reasonable prices because if I’m going to give my things away, what’s the point of having this business? I made myself do realistic pricing and lots of promotion and it’s gotten easier and easier the more I do it.

A quick tip: As a web developer, I’ve had many clients dangle a “phase II” or “a lot more projects” or “a much bigger project when we raise more money.” DON’T FALL FOR THE TRICK. Demand your full payment from the get go, or don’t do it. All too often that phase II or next project doesn’t exist, or won’t exist for years to come. It’s a ploy clients will use to get your work for less $, and it’s lame.

This is a powerful article. Many moons ago I would reduce my fees, give my services for free and 9 times out of ten, it was not appreciated and did not produce lasting results for the client. I would mumble my fees, or I was hesitant. Now, I boldly tell my prospective clients my fees and I will not see anyone unless there is a commitment for several sessions.

Changing your thoughts to change your life for most of the population, will not happen in one session. I will not allow someone to become my client unless they commit to and pay for several sessions up front.

I am still trying to come to terms with number 6. At times I will freely give my time – advising, mentoring, coaching someone, under the guise of paying it forward. I am really weak with this one.

Number 7 – I am taking giant strides in the right direction.

Your article is enlightening and I see many women around me who fall into one or more of these seven categories. I will link this to a future posting on my blog.

Mikelann, I wish you could see my head nodding vigorously. I have had times in my former corporate career, and as a business owner where I admit to having slipped into a combination of these. While men have emotional ties to money too, it doesn’t seem to come out in the losing way that we do to ourselves. This is a great reminder for all of us to be watchful. When I teach business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs how to set up, manage and market themselves, I touch on some of this, but will have to start pointing people in your direction. This is highly valuable! Thanks.
