🌟 Embracing Growth: The Journey to Valuing My Work 🌟
Hey everyone! 🙋♀️🙋♂️ I've been on a transformative journey with my clients, gradually increasing my fees as I land new projects. Each time I quote a higher rate, I experience a whirlwind of emotions - a mix of anxiety and excitement. 🌪️💰 The freeze response is reaaaaal...! It's like I'm on the edge of a new identity, one where I fully embrace the value of my work. Yet, those old limiting beliefs sometimes creep in, trying to hold me back. 😬🔗 I keep remembering Ted's wise words, "Once you ask for a certain amount, someone else is willing to pay more for the same problem being solved." I'm probably paraphrasing here, but I'm pretty sure he said it somewhere. It’s a reminder that our value isn't just in what we do, but how we perceive and project our worth. 💡💪 I'm now stepping into a space where my potential client will be investing over $3K to work with me. It's both exhilarating and anxiety provoking. 🚀💼 Here's my question to you all: How do you deal with those inner thoughts and feelings when a client is ready to pay you more than you've ever received before? How do you manage that 'freeze' response and align your identity with your evolving professional worth? 🤔💬 Let's talk about growth, value, and overcoming those mental hurdles. Your stories and advice are welcome. 🤗💬 I'm here for all the growth I can GETTTT.
