88 | When to Raise your Rates

Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah

In today’s episode, we're tackling a subject that can make hearts pound and palms sweat: raising your rates in your business.

We open up about the challenges of pricing our services, sharing personal experiences and insights into the uncomfortable yet necessary discussions about when and how to raise rates.

Listen in as we unravel the complexities of money mindset, emphasizing the significance of charging what you're worth to avoid burnout and maintain the financial health of your business.

“So much of it really comes down to our mindset around money and how we view money. How we feel comfortable or not comfortable with the idea of talking about money and knowing that we deserve money.”

In this episode, we will cover:

• Having the uncomfortable money talks (1:48)
• Valuing your services and what you provide to your clients (3:28)
• Finding the middle ground in pricing your services (6:33)
• How to raise your insurance rates (18:53)
