Inspirational Quotes

“When we all take care of ourselves, then we are our best selves.”

“Resilience is not about always pushing, it’s knowing when you need to stop and recharge.

“I didn’t like working in organizations that were dysfunctional, so I decided I could build my own.”

Coaching Advice

We all struggle with how to value ourselves, especially how to price our products and services. Nkem offers this sound advice:

1) First ask yourself, “Do you have a hard time receiving?”. If you do, then you are undervaluing yourself. Try repeating this mantra each morning, “Every day it gets a little easier to receive.”

2) Research services/products similar to yours. Assess how you are similar and how you are different from your competitors.

As you delve into their pricing, ask yourself, “Are these prices based on healthy or unhealthy economies?” Basically, are they making a healthy profit or just making it by?

If you modeling yourself after an unhealthy economy, you will also just be getting by instead of seeking ways to increase your value. Beware of models you choose to emulate and the results they produce!
