In this episode, I'm inspired by a conversation I had with a client who realised that she was putting in more time and effort than she was charging for. This sparked a realisation in me: how often do we do the same thing in our own businesses?It's important to reframe your mindset around money and realise that you are worthy of getting paid for your time! It's easy to fall into the trap of undervaluing ourselves and our work, but it's crucial that we recognise our worth.One helpful tool that I recommend is tracking time spent on different activities. This will help you better understand how long things take and price your services accordingly. It's a small change that can make a big difference in your bottom line!So, whether you're a freelancer, an entrepreneur, or just starting out in the business world, this episode is for you!Links:Free Masterclass: https://www.jkcreativecompany.com/freemasterclass Website: www.jkcreativecompany.com Get in touch:Email: hello@jkcreativecompany.comInstagram: @jkcreativecompany
