Welcome to the 49th edition of the BizStarter Newsletter!

Has anyone ever told you you’re too expensive?

Maybe it’s just not within their budget right now.

Or the infamous… “My friend said she can do it for $50. Can you match that price?”

If you’ve ever been told some variation of this and started doubting yourself, wondering if you should lower your prices, I’m here to tell you—don’t do it.

Maybe you’ve had someone ask to pick your brain?

📌If it sounds like someone is asking for free advice, then they probably are.

I’m sure, like me, you get requests like this every day…even though the link to schedule a call is prominent in all my social media profiles.🤨

I have responses that have worked for my clients, and for me to help you either turn these inquiries into clients or happily send them on their way without giving away your expertise for free.

I share them in my upcoming Client Getting Live Event on December 4th. I hope to see you there!

Now, let’s get into this week’s tips, ideas, resources, and the latest news!
