Welcome to this episode of The Business Advisor Podcast and in this episode, I’m tackling a subject that makes even the most confident advisors crumble: pricing. I know that feeling—the sweaty palms and tight throat when you have to state your fee, terrified of hearing a "no." I see so many people undercharging or stuffing their offers with extras, confusing being affordable with making an impact.
In this episode, I'll show you that pricing confidence isn't about tricks; it's about remembering the tangible results you deliver. I’ll break down the four biggest pricing mistakes I see advisors make, from pricing like a mechanic to getting trapped in the exhausting Ascension model. We'll explore how to shift your focus from hours to outcomes and anchor your price to the transformation your clients truly desire, so you can finally charge what you're worth with confidence.
