Today I had three private coaching sessions with my amazing clients. Stepping into your influential voice really requires that you own your self-worth. In my book, The Influence Factor, this is one of the four key elements to truly developing your influential voice.
These three clients are struggling with owning their self-worth. How do I know? Because they struggle with owning the value of what they sell. I have written about owning your self-worth and valuing what you offer several times before. I feel compelled again to share how significant it is.
One client in a multilevel network organization said that many struggle because when they first start asking people to sign up, the question is: “Well, how much money are you making?” My response to her was: “How many times have you asked me when I have sold you an additional coaching package, and named the price, what are you making?”
She just started to laugh!
Why? Because she’s never asked me that question! I step into the power of who I am and value what I offer, and able to own that price with ease.
Then we talked about alternative things to say instead of focusing on how much money you’re making when you just start out selling what you sell. The conversation was quite eye-opening and enlightening for her. We talked about what their needs and desires are, what opportunity exists, and selling the benefits, versus the money.
Then, she said quietly: “I don’t know my worth, Ann.”
This is why one of the six layers of my coaching program is about developing this value in my clients. Without, we never get to a place where we EARN what we DESERVE.
When we struggle with our personal value, our self-worth, we struggle with the price to offer. And we often put obstacles in place that stop us from being able to attract the customers we want. Owning your self-worth will empower you to step into your influential voice and own your price.
Where to you struggle with the relationship you have with yourself, that is stopping you from your influential voice, and ultimately getting what you deserve financially?
After you’re done reading this article, I want you to do TWO things:
#1. I want you to tell me a story about how you have struggled with owning your self-worth. Tell me what you changed, and how it helped you. Leave a comment. Share anything you can that you think will benefit the Warrior-Preneur community.
#2. Do you have a friend whom you think needs to own their self-worth and earn more?” Someone like a life coach, a social media marketing expert, or anyone that offers products and services? Please send them a link to this article!
