Yeah, I said it. I can though, because it did it to myself!
When working with creative intuitive entrepreneurs just like you, I put each client through a pre-work assessment. It’s a series of 40 questions (don’t be scared, you will learn a ton about yourself and where your business needs to grow) that allow me to best know where, and how help you.
One of the first questions is; what do you dream about earning in your business? It’s a powerful question to really think about; per day, per month, per year, what is it you really want to bring in?
Later in that same question I ask what you sell and for a cost breakdown. You know what I’m going to say next, right?
The numbers just don’t add up.
Most creative entrepreneurs are killing themselves to make money. I’ve worked with the client whose dream was just to make $5000 a month but she was charging $47 an hour for her very specialized work.
Okay, I know you’re doing the math. And you’re thinking “but Ann, that’s only 100 hours a month! Corporate employees work way more than that!”
True, corporate employees just go do a job and get paid.
Entrepreneurs have to do what they love to get paid and then do the job which is the business. We have to market, and sell, and be visible, and do finances, and scale our business! That’s where the real work comes in. And if you really don’t know what your worth…
OK, you have another choice… hire somebody to do it.
That is why, for me, helping you see your true value, helping you be able to step into a place where you are charging what you’re truly worth matters. I find that most people are only charging $47 an hour because they struggle with owning their worth. In my MasterMind, step 4 is about how to build your brands sales and TRULY step into a price you deserve. Are you ready to earn MORE and feel really great about it?

The first element in my book The Influence Factor is all about knowing your truth. You did take the assessment, correct? So now you understand which element you need to most work on? In the book I give you strong information on how to truly know and own your story.
But knowing your truth is more than just your story. Trust me, a story doesn’t have to be something dramatic, or sad. It’s really about understanding who you are and where you come from and why it matters toward your future. It’s about changing the mental chemistry you have engrained into your mind about your life, and transforming it into passion, love, abundance, influence.
Knowing your truth is also about getting honest with yourself. I find with many of my clients they hide from being visible because of this factor, and honestly they’re not even aware they’re doing it![divider style=”7″][optin_box style=”12″ alignment=”center” email_field=”inf_field_Email” email_default=”Enter your email address” integration_type=”infusionsoft” double_optin=”Y” list=”47″ name_field=”inf_field_FirstName” name_default=”Enter your first name” name_required=”Y” action_page=”https://bw162.infusionsoft.com/app/form/process/c28e52a7ce159b904dd50f14498a6cf0″][optin_box_hidden][/optin_box_hidden][optin_box_field name=”headline”]Are You Ready to Challenge Your Limiting Beliefs?[/optin_box_field][optin_box_field name=”paragraph”]PHA+RmluZCBvdXQgYWJvdXQgQW5uJ3MgbGltaXRpbmcgYmVsaWVmIGFuZCBob3cgdG8gb3ZlcmNvbWUgeW91cnMgd2l0aCB0aGlzIGZyZWUgYXVkaW8uPC9wPgo=[/optin_box_field][optin_box_field name=”privacy”]We value your privacy and would never spam you[/optin_box_field][optin_box_field name=”top_color”]undefined[/optin_box_field][optin_box_button type=”0″ button_below=”Y”]Get Instant Access![/optin_box_button] [/optin_box][divider style=”8″]So it’s time, get honest. With:
what you say you’ll do and what you actually do
your unlimited space and potential
what you truly are an expert at and what you’re not
what matters most in your life and living those values
what you need to start saying no to.
It might sound simple, but is it. No. It takes courage and strength to get real with yourself. I have faith warrior.
With 18 years an entrepreneur, I understand the hustle that it can turn into. Constantly working to make a buck! You passionately love what you do so you get on that roller coaster and keep earning. You finally make enough to pay your bills, you sigh in relief, and ease back a bit from what you’re doing.
I remember that roller coaster, and I thought it was the way being an entrepreneur was. Then one day I had a real epiphany. I’m really just somebody that goes out and hustles for a buck to make my bills, not a business owner and entrepreneur.
Ouch! That was a very painful moment for me.
Then I did a reality check and had to ask myself, do I really want to be a business owner or do I just want to be a hustler? Trust me, you HAVE to as an entrepreneur get your hustle on. EVENTUALLY you have to as an entrepreneur build a sustainable business.
In that moment of realizing that I wanted to truly take what I love to do and earn what I deserve and earn it in a credible and easy way I knew the answer. I bet you feel the same way sometimes!
Then I looked at what I really needed to do to be successful. I had to put some systems in place, and get organized! And guess what? It worked. I now EARN with EASE.
You might be thinking that putting systems in place is hard. Trust me, it’s not! There is an easier way. And now I teach it. All the blood sweat and tears I put into figuring it out I have simplified in a system that you can replicate and truly still be you and do you!
Here is what Kerry Hargraves said about learning this for her business success!
Overcoming Being Scared , element 2 in my book “The Influence Factor” is probably one of the most important and powerful things we can do to be successful in our businesses. What I find as I listen to my
clients more and more, it isn’t fear of failure it’s fear of success that paralyzes them and keeps them from truly stepping in to their greatness.
Hell, most of us have failed 1 million times and we still get up and keep going! What is it then about success that can move us into that phase of truly being scared, like I talk about in my first book The Influence Factor?
Why is it that every limiting belief we can possibly have comes up when we are stepping into that next phase of greatness?
For example I recently relaunched my own stage!
BOOM! Totally excited to step into greatness and be visible again!
That the wasn’t scary for me. I’m ready, made the commitment, visualizing what I want in the room, all of the goodness that goes into making that happen. Then I got the marketing done as my “90 Day Market your Event Plan” tells all of my clients to do. I put the event online and got ready to email everybody to get them to sign up. My visualization is to have 100 people in the room. I am ready!!
As soon as I sent that email fear overcame me.
That moment of “what if I only get 10 people? What if nobody signs up?” All of those limiting beliefs are only stopping me from keeping on the goal of greatness that I desire. The success I desire. Those fears paralyze success.
You must wipe them from your mind and stick to the success you want. You must realize that unconditional self-love is required to have the success you desire. You must realize that no matter how many people sign up you will give a wildly successful event.
And honestly if only 10 sign-up will I still sell a large portion of the room and have a fabulous day? Absolutely!
So why do you allow your limiting beliefs to become the hamper that stops you from success?

I run a monthly mastermind called Women Wine and Wisdom. It is been powerful on both personal and professional life levels, if I do say so myself! I asked: “What do you know you need to start to step into your greatness and why aren’t you starting? What are you afraid of?”
The women who show up and share real and raw, are amazing at this event! We all grow through the sharing, without a doubt. A common theme I’ve heard over and over again is around visibility, as well as fear. The conversation went deeper into it’s really fear of success not fear of failure. And these women dug deeper and started to share with tear filled eyes how much they fear success and what comes along with it.
I realized that my work has always been based on developing self-worth. It goes back to my first job out of college counseling abused and neglected teenage girls. I’ve realized that that work is really what is required to transcend to the place that you dream of being. Interestingly I recently shared with my COMPEL SPEAK SELL MasterMind clients five fundamental areas that I think they need to work on in ordered have a wildly successful business.
One of those five areas is their Vision of Self. See, all the technology, the systems, and the “how to’s” are hard to do at a level of greatness when you have not gotten to a place of unconditional self-worth.
And many people, go through life thinking they have it, but they don’t. And it’s getting in the way.
When you have unconditional self-worth you understand that anything “external” will not add to or diminish it. These are things like money, running a business, achieving certain things. Those are about market or social worth. Your self-worth has to be seen or felt as infinite and unchanging in order to truly get to a place where the “external’s” can happen, and flourish in your life.
I know in my heart that teaching more of this, in combination with the other business related items I teach, will change these women, and my clients’ lives. Man do I love what I do!
