The title of this article appeared in my mind on Christmas Eve, although the subject had been swirling round my head for quite some time. In fact, a couple of weeks before Christmas I remember laughing and saying out loud – you’re such a control freak! There was no judgement – only realisation. It […]

If you’re reading this article, it’s almost certain that you recognise that you’re not charging what you’re worth.

The Imaginary Monster – Fear
“If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.” Robert H Schuller. Up until now, fear has been the bane of my life, stopping me from doing all sorts of things. Fear, it is said, is the killer of dreams. I’m not talking about fear […]
All Rejection is Self-Rejection
No-one can make you feel inferior, without your consent. And so said Eleanor Roosevelt and she was right.

Perfectionism – a High Price to Pay
In my coaching, I’ve discovered that many of my clients suffer from a perfectionist streak. (Not surprisingly, I’m a perfectionist too!)

Understanding your value in business starts with valuing yourself as a human being. This is because before you’re an accountant, lawyer or a financial adviser, you are first and foremost a human being – and so are your clients. It’s so easy to get caught up in facts, figures and processes and forget that when […]
I’m Sorry You’re Just Not Worth It!

If You’re Not Charging What You’re Worth, You’re Unbalanced – You Know Who You Are!
OK, so I admit it, the title of my article was designed to grab your attention and provoke you to read on. Charging what you’re worth is an emotive subject, so it seemed appropriate to begin with a bang. And by the way, when I said unbalanced, what I really meant is out of balance. […]
