It’s a deep, intuitive feeling that our existence should be one of abundance, that we should be supported for simply being ourselves and sharing our gifts.

I believe this intuition comes from a soulful place. It’s a recognition that we deserve to flourish, to play, and to be fully supported by the Universe for doing what lights us up.

This is why the gap between our current reality and that ideal can feel so painful. The stronger your passion and vision for your ideal work, the more acutely yo…

Over the years I’ve noticed many solopreneurs experiment with sliding scale pricing or pay-what-you-can (PWYC).

I respect their compassionate intentions!

However, I don’t feel it’s a good method for most soulpreneurs.

While seemingly generous, these pricing schemes can create more problems than they solve.

While there might be exceptions, I believe most of us would build more sustainable businesses and serve our clients better with simpler, more transparent pricing structures.

I’m not a financial advisor — simply a passionate amateur — so please do much other research and get certain about your strategy before you invest.

Over time, I’ve really settled into the “Boglehead” way, which is:

(1) As soon as possible (do not delay even one year) — invest your money into a tax-advantaged retirement account (such as an IRA) at least yearly…

Have you heard that in your pricing, you should “stand up for your value” ?

Let’s reflect on this:

How much is your value?

How much are you worth?

$25/hour? $250/hour? $500/hour? $10,000/hour?

Words matter. They shape how we see ourselves and others. Connecting our fees to our “worth” is a deeply unhealthy comparison.

Are you worth less than someone who charges more?

Truth: You are worth infinity.

You are a precious human being whose odds of being born are 1 in 400 trillion!
