This episode is in a way a follow-up to Episode 21 in which I addressed the question 'to niche or not to niche' and explained that why I'm making my worldview my niche. So in this episode, I'd like to discuss that approach: rather than having a specific service being your niche (such as I have in my LinkedIn Consulting business), I suggest making your worldview your niche. It might be scary to think about making your opinions on certain polarizing topics public, but in the long run, you'll see a lot of more alignment between your business and the clients you attract. In this episode, you’ll learn about making your worldview your niche as well as… The risk involved in making your opinions public Why your worldview can attract your ideal client Using storytelling to communicate your worldview How your work reflect your worldview Sarah's Resources (FREE) Sarah’s One Page Marketing Plan (FREE) Sarah Suggests Newsletter (FREE) The Gentle Business Manifesto (FREE) Gentle Confidence Mini-Course The B Corp: It’s

In today's episode, we are talking about fair pricing and the conversations we can have with our clients about it. When we set our rates we need to consider many things like our experience, our operating expenses, the value we create, and much more. Having a conversation about money can be uncomfortable for many because money is often a delicate subject but as adults and business owners, we must be willing to have difficult conversations with our clients. Sure, not every call will lead to a sale and that's okay too! What matters is that we are able to create space for these conversations to happen. In this episode you’ll learn about how to have a fair pricing conversation as well as… Why having options for your clients is a great idea What to consider when setting your rate Why I don't offer hourly packages Why I stand behind my $500 offer Sarah's Resources (FREE) Sarah’s One Page Marketing Plan (FREE) Sarah Suggests Newsletter (FREE) The Gentle Business Manifesto The Gentle Business Circle The Gentle Bus

I'm a day late, as the day of silence was meant to be held yesterday, Tuesday. But I just heard about this on my friend Jenny Blakes' podcast and I think it really doesn't matter what day we pause and reflect. In fact we ought to do it every day.

But racism exists everywhere, to some extent. If you are based in the US, check out the site theshowmustbepaused.com which includes many resources to help. And take some time today, time to reflect. And I can't help myself I just need to say it: this belongs. This is exactly what's needed to break the sy
