class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asking better questions to determine your rates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creative entrepreneurs often struggle with an internal conflict when it comes to how much they should charge for their products and services. The truth is that what you should charge should vary by project and client, and how you determine your rate starts with asking better questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to get curious about your client\u2019s problems and the solutions you can provide for them. Start by asking them about their goals, objectives, and the pain points that are keeping them from achieving them. Asking the right questions will help you uncover how you can meet this client\u2019s needs, what it will require of you, and whether or not you are the right fit for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id='lightbox-inline-form-f7d37f1b-4a8e-4762-b0ea-9424de78c464'><\/div><div id='variation-inline-form-var-06ce7aab-c2b7-42fb-9ae9-4a8b3ecc2673'><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do when a client isn\u2019t right for you&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be scary to turn away a client, but it is a scarcity mindset that leads you to believe you won\u2019t get another client if you turn this one away. It\u2019s better to be honest with them when you think you are not right for the job and cannot solve their problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still gain their trust by referring them to someone else. That trust will encourage them to come back to you when they have a job that\u2019s a better fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring clients to other independent business owners will also build a community of colleagues who support each other instead of treating each other like competition. When you let go of the scarcity mindset and lean into the joy of service, you will build better long-term relationships with clients and colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to cultivate community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to be in a community of generous and gracious entrepreneurs, it starts with you becoming generous and gracious. It\u2019s easy to look sideways at your \u201ccompetition\u201d or look up at the people who are more successful than you, but it\u2019s uncommon to look down at the people coming behind you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lending a hand to the independent business owners who are a few steps behind you will cultivate a community that emphasizes the joy of service. The energy that you radiate out will come back to you, and you will start to attract others who will want to help you out as well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The SECRET to Raising Rates &amp; Finding the RIGHT Clients (Chris Do)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hYRBl_crE68?list=PL6TUvBzCkmeUcnEya3ctylBtsp5yFINF9\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to know when it\u2019s time to raise your rates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that women entrepreneurs often charge less than their male counterparts for the same work and experience level? Many people, both men and women, struggle to put numbers behind their work and stand by those numbers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If clients instantly agree to your rates without any friction or pushback, your rates are too low. <em>If you get three \u201cyeses,\u201d it\u2019s time to raise your rates.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to work with clients who value their time and the fact that you can give them their time back by doing the work for them. Do not assume that they aren\u2019t willing to pay good money to buy back their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different types of rates you can charge, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An hourly rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flat fixed fee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Value-based pricing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performance-based percentage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to guarantee a stable income is to diversify the type of rate you charge instead of only relying on one method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The biggest mistakes business owners are making in 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chasing new clients instead of better servicing the clients you already have<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not being clear on what you do, which leads you to offer too many services and confusing your clients<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not marketing your services well and expecting clients to come to you&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The biggest challenges business owners will face in 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Competition will get tougher, which means you have to specialize in something and position yourself as different and unique from others doing the same thing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overcoming fear of AI tools and incorporating them into your business<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The biggest differentiator between the businesses that succeed and the ones that fail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris believes that the business owners who succeed are focused and do not give into shiny object syndrome. They are committed to finding joy in the difficult moments, being kind to themselves when they fail, and using failures are opportunities for growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id='lightbox-inline-form-72d76c86-612d-405d-b925-c461f6acfb95'><\/div><div id='variation-inline-form-var-143a635f-7d64-4314-88c6-796252bc7e73'><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-b2031dd\" data-block-id=\"b2031dd\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important sections of the conversation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>[2:13] How to determine what to charge for your services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[9:53] What to do when you aren\u2019t the right fit for a client<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[14:58] How to cultivate community<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[19:27] How to know when it\u2019s time to raise your rates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[30:24] Common mistakes business owners are making in 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[35:30] The biggest challenges business owners will face in 2024<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[43:21] The biggest differentiator between the businesses that succeed and the ones that fail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mentioned in this episode:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/embracing-your-inner-ceo-ellen-yin\">Embracing Your Inner CEO Podcast Episode<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Infinite-Game-Simon-Sinek\/dp\/073521350X\/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=\">Infinite Game by Seth Godin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pricing Study by Honeybook<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dip-Little-Book-Teaches-Stick\/dp\/1591841666\/ref=asc_df_1591841666\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=312607785736&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=4096968373563396187&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9013266&amp;hvtargid=pla-434108971871&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=&amp;ref=&amp;adgrpid=61775261186&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvadid=312607785736&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=4096968373563396187&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9013266&amp;hvtargid=pla-434108971871\">The Dip by Seth Godin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect with the guest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thechrisdo\/\">instagram.com\/thechrisdo<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/thefutur.com\/\">thefutur.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most critical components of running a successful independent business is sales.
