On the difficulty of charging a fair price

Many entrepreneurs, and especially female entrepreneurs, comment on the difficulty of charging a fair price for their work and finding someone who pays them the way they deserve. I know we live in difficult times but I insist that insecurity can often put us in a vulnerable position and I will explain why.

When you don’t charge a fair price, you ignore all the time, energy and money invested so that you can develop and deliver your work with the quality it has. How many years of study, how many sleepless nights, how many hours of your life do you dedicate to this purpose?

Also, to make your work work, there are personal and material costs involved. You have to pay your bills and cover the amounts involved in a formalization, make a personal technical reserve and for your business, contribute to who knows how to retire one day, among many other things.

You are the main asset of your business and when you are not aware of this the roads to prosperity are closed, as there is no way to talk about financial organization and investments in the future, when you are not earning enough even to break even.

Don’t let your insecurity put you in a position of financial vulnerability. To help you on this journey, I will list a few topics to teach you to see the true value of your work.

  • 1 – You don’t sell a simple product or service, you sell solutions
  • 2 – Your work aggregates the perception of the value of another person or brand
  • 3 – Put a lot of dedication and professionalism into all your projects
  • 4 – Your equipment, raw materials, products and courses are expensive
  • 5- You have already invested a lot to qualify your work and offer the best



“Don’t ask me for free the only thing I have to sell”

Do you understand now why you can’t charge cheap for your work? I know it’s scary to lose a client, but believe in yourself and go after someone who is willing and able to pay for your work.

Businesses that don’t make enough to keep up with their expenses die before they even hit profit, so keep the gravity of the matter in mind: You can’t sacrifice your dream and the future of your business just because you want to be nice to your customers. your friends.
