I write on this topic often, but it keeps coming up, so I keep writing.
A prospect contacted me recently and wanted to set up a free consultation. My expertise is not free. More than two decades of sweat, time, energy and money leaves me with this amazing skillset. And it's worth every penny of my hourly rate... and MUCH MORE! But only if I know this is true and remain committed to this clarity.
This comes up often for female entrepreneurs. How often have you been approached for a barter? How often do you feel at least temporarily obliged to say, "Yes," without stopping to assess how this response relates to your self-value?
In my experience, the more I say, "No," the more free I am to pursue those opportunities that truly honor and support my knowing that what I have to offer the world does indeed have value.
Until our culturally agreed-on method of fair exchange goes from cash to bartership, I remain committed to exchanging my time and expertise for it's fair and inherent value in the form of cash.
It is my sincere wish for you that you see the importance of doing the same.
