When it’s your own business, pricing and fear often show up as a dynamic duo…and not in a good way. It’s a major reason why many young businesses struggle so much to get to a sustainably profitable state.

​My favorite quotes from this episode:

“Pricing was like…I called it Clueless in Seattle. Like the movie Sleepless in Seattle but only I was clueless.” Jo Ellen Newman

“I shared it [my prices] with a coach one time. She looked at me like I had four heads and said “You need to raise your prices.” Jo Ellen Newman

“How do I solve my fears? How do I solve myself doubts? How do I stop that imposter syndrome? those three things were chunks of emotions that I learned to say, this is not real. It may appear as fearful, but that’s your mind chatter. The false evidence appearing real like.” Jo Ellen Newman

“…pricing was the biggest hurdle. It really was for me, making sure that I was clear on that and clear within myself first and then looked at the market because the self image ​was what held me back.” Jo Ellen Newman

“​Once you decided to change your prices, you ​stepped outside that comfort zone and into this vision of yourself​.”  The Pricing Lady

“you can do the inner work, but if you don’t take the action with the new, you, then you really haven’t done the inner work. You haven’t, um, move beyond the fear, right?” Jo Ellen Newman

“That mindset has to translate into action.” Jo Ellen
