08 Let's talk money!

"Money may not be your why, but money enables your why."

Love it or hate it, we need to talk about it!


One thing I want to normalise, especially in the education business sphere, is how, you can earn a healthy income from your business AND care about your clients and their outcomes.


Here's what I talk about:

  • How to decide how much to charge (including a quick calculation)
  • How to navigate difficult conversations with clients

I've split the last point into three scenarios:

  1. Feeling awkward to chase payments
  2. The pressure when a client thinks you're too expensive
  3. Increasing prices, especially for existing clients


Bonus: I share insights given by some members in my Facebook group.


What you can do next:

  1. Book a free call with me if you'd like to see how I can help you
  2. If you're a tutor, check out The Tutors' Mastermind
