An uncertain seller hesitates to make a sale, while an uncertain buyer holds back from making a purchase. It’s like a stalemate that nobody wins. So, what’s the secret sauce to break free from this cycle? It’s all about recognizing and amplifying the value you bring to the table.

When what you offer is worth more than what you’re asking, closing the deal becomes a breeze.

Getting certain on what that value is and what you bring is how you win. I don’t know you personally yet but I know that the fact that you are reading this tells me that you are worth your weight in gold when it comes to your service to dogs.

Let’s delve deep into this process together and give yourself some grace. We’ll navigate the ups and downs of acknowledging our worth, and giving ourselves a break when needed. I get it—it’s tough stuff. But trust me, once you grasp your true value and start attracting the right crowd, everything changes for the better. If you don’t recognise your own worth then you might inadvertently attract the wrong crowd, leading to resentment and burnout.

By acknowledging your worth and attracting the right people to your business, you not only free yourself from current constraints; you’re also making room for some serious joy and fulfillment. And guess what? That positivity? It spreads like wildfire to everyone around you.

Think of this as your gift to future generations—your way of leaving a lasting legacy. It’s time to give yourself the green light to shine.

Let’s support you in your journey of value stacking by doing this written exercise with me:

Reflection Questions

How long did you train for to become qualified?
How much did you invest in yourself to be able to deliver this service? (even if that was simply time, there’s still a cost on your time.)
Do you want to be mediocre or the GO-TO Expert in your area?

How did you get on with that?

Taking a stroll down memory lane, I’ve been in the dog grooming game for a good twelve years now. And let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. From investing in marketing know-how to attending personal development workshops, I’ve poured my heart and soul into becoming the best in my field.

So, when it comes to setting my prices, I do so with confidence. I know the value I bring, and I’m not afraid to stand by it.

Understanding your own power is key. It’s about owning your expertise and showing the world what you’re made of. Because when you radiate confidence, people can’t help but take notice. And that means more wagging tails and happy customers for you.

Recognizing your worth isn’t just some fluffy self-help spiel; it’s the cornerstone of building a thriving business. So, let’s make a pact to value ourselves and our services the way they deserve.

Ready to take the plunge? Let’s do this! And hey, even a small tweak—like bumping up your prices by 5-10% —can lead to big things down the road.

So, what do you say? Ready to unleash your inner powerhouse and make waves in your industry? I thought so. Let’s make it happen, together!
