Increasing your prices

I’m having great fun preparing the content for my free call next Monday 6th June. The joys of my laptop allow me to sit in our sunroom, pretending I am in sunnier climes, when it is a cool wind outside; and when I want a moment of inspiration, I can step out into the garden and let myself be refreshed by the soil and the plants.

The call is all about pricing and money — something that for spiritual business owners and conscious entrepreneurs can be a bit of a nightmare! If you’ve ever wondered about what to charge your clients, how to set your prices, or felt nervous about whether you are under– or over-charging, then get on this [read more]

The benefits of being honest

“Oh no!”

I was looking at a big scratch on a car door — the care that was parked next to mine in the library car park in Aberdeen. What on earth was I doing there? Good place to get online for free near the hospital.

Anyway, as I was getting out, the wind blew my door into her car, and resulted in the scratch. I peered at it, wiped a finger over it, and realised it wasn’t going to just disappear. I walked away — but only about five steps, realising that I couldn’t just leave like that. I would have to write a note — I’ve had my car scratched anonymously, and it’s not nice.

Good news! The Findhorn Foundation has accepted my proposal for a workshop in 2012, their fiftieth birthday year!

The Foundation is a spiritual community, eco-village and educational establishment that is based in Findhorn (4 miles down the road from me) and Forres, where I live. If you’ve never heard of it, do visit their site and check out the biographies of the founders, one of whom still lives there. They are some of the most fascinating stories I’ve ever read.

Anyway — the workshop is entitled Bringing Spirituality into Business for Peace, Pleasure and Plenty, and I will have a page up on this as soon as the dates are set. I’m really looking forward to it!

Most people have a Money Comfort Level – the level of money which they are comfortable having, no matter where it comes from. This is usually an unconscious amount, and you would be surprised at how much it determines what happens in your life financially! The challenge is discovering what it is, and then taking steps to increase that if you want to bring more money into your life.

To illustrate this, imagine you are driving a car on a long straight stretch of road, and you switch on the cruise control so you can take your foot off the accelerator. Now when you set cruise control on a car, what you are doing is asking your speedometer to [read more]

How Your Money Beliefs Limit Your Business Success

When you are in the business of spirituality, or have a spiritual business, or even simply aspire to conducting your business in an ethical, authentic manner, you are going to have to deal with money. Without money coming in and going out, you don’t have a business at all. So money is a hot topic when it comes to business – and it’s also a hot topic when it comes to spirituality! Can money and spiritual principles live side by side?

Over the many years I have been in various businesses, I have heard other self-employed people struggle with the concept of charging well for their services. It comes out in statements such as:

• I shouldn’t be [read more]
