In This Episode You Will Learn About: Finding your hourly value Creatively scaling Breaking down my Fast Foundations pricing   Resources: Text “FASTER” to 310-421-0416 to join my new “Fastermind”   Show Notes: There’s a balance you must strike between desiring and deserving more money and making sure that you’re charging your customers exactly what you should for the value they are getting. Charging what you’re worth doesn’t always mean raising your prices. In fact, doing that risks pricing yourself out of reach from your own audience. There’s a better way to do it and I’m going to show you how. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why your customers aren’t taking action The power of a clear command How to get immediate results   Resources: Text “FASTER” to 310-421-0416 to join my new “Fastermind”   Show Notes: Whether you’re an influencer, a coach, or running a brick and mortar business, every single one of you has customers to sell to. One thing that comes up again and again is when people believe they have a great product and that their branding is on point – even that their potential customers tell them they want it – but when it comes to the actual point of sale, they hear crickets. If this sounds like you, it will all be because of one thing you’re not doing well enough: giving your customers a clear command!

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The harmful misinformation around money Why you’re doing better than you think The myth of the millionaire The myth of the exit The myth of the launch The myth of the big spender   Resources: Text “FASTER” to 310-421-0416 to join my new “Fastermind”   Show Notes: Never before has there been more misinformation or more people — intentionally or unintentionally — misleading others on what is or is not a lot of money, and how well they’ve done. These disingenuous lifestyles are causing serious damage to people’s mental health. I want to put an end to these money myths out there. One of the areas I see this misleading information the most is in the coaching world. People want to sell you on a program that’s going to increase your success. The fact is, you’re probably far more successful than these people would have you believe. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

The reason is because of what money can buy. No, not just material possessions. The best things that money can buy are choice, ability, and availability. Everybody needs all three of these in their life and I’m going to show you how to get them. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.
