I'm not really helping people if it's costing them a lot of money, right? Geez, I couldn't even afford me! We have tons of strange ideas and limitations when it comes to charging for doing what we love. That's why I'm thrilled to welcome Mikelann Valterra of the Women's Earning Institute (http://www.womenearning.com) to help us figure out how to reconcile our money energy.00:30:00Rachel Whalleynopsychology,business,emotions,feelings,moneyMy work is so meaningful...how can I charge an arm and a leg for this?

What happens when you need to pay the bills? Do you take on a part-time job outside of your passion? And if so, does that make you a failure? How much work we get and how we're making rent is a sensitive topic for all of us. We all want to look like consumate professionals with a booked calendar and oodles of excess cash in the bank. And yet the truth is, 90% of us don't resemble that picture. At least not yet. Amy Woidtke of EcoKind Design (http://ecokinddesign.com/) will be joining me to discuss the inner and outer obstacles of seeing ourselves as a success, no matter what.00:30:00Rachel Whalleynopsychology,business,emotions,success,failureIn this economy, it can be even harder for new business owners to make it work.

So many of us think that they don't ever need, or want, to hear about us. And really, what a relief, because I don't want to have to deal with talking a bunch about me. I'm boring, nobody cares, I'm being too selfish/narcissistic/overbearing... If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone! It can be really difficult to promote your service or product without talking about...YOU. And yet most of us are reluctant to take up that much of the stage. Which sucks, because our potential clients want to know about and decide whether they can trust you. So how do we get over this limiting belief? Tune in as I discuss it with David Kuhns of CyranoWriter (http://www.cyranowriter.com/) and we flesh out our own struggles with this idea as well as how we've helped other business owners move beyond it.00:30:00Rachel Whalleynopsychology,business,emotions,feelings,self-promotionWe're taught that people hire you or buy your stuff because you're addressing them and their needs, right?

When your career path is something you create rather than follow, you can start wondering if your new risks and explorations are positive steps on your Way or if they are simply distracting flights of fancy.

But what about when you start a business in a profession that is negatively stereotyped. I'm talking lawyers and therapists, for example. In this show, Valerie Farris of Farris Law (www.farrislawpllc.com) will be joining me to tell her story of how she worked past negative stereotypes to build a successful practice. And you know I'll be joining in, 'cause saying, "I'm a psychotherapist," at most social functions can be a mixed bag. Let's bust some perceptions together.

So it's no surprise then when that person doesn't complete the sale with you. But what about those times when you feel you've really connected with someone. They get you and you know they feel you're grooving with them, too. And THEN they never call back! What is that about?

And if you're like me, you probably have a lot of stories and feelings about how great everybody else looks like they're doing. "Why didn't I think of that?!" or "Wow, her website is so cool and professional"...and then what can follow that is thinking about why this person is so much better, more qualified, more successful, more popular, better liked, etc. than you. Not a fun path of thinking to go down. So let's talk about it and what you can do to stop it. Tune in on New Year's Day and we'll discuss it. Want to talk about your particular struggle?

Our culture wants us to believe that business should be devoid of emotions, but here's the sometimes scary truth: we are human beings and we have feelings. And they don't stop just because we put our business hats on. In fact, your feelings are an unexplored asset to your business. A treasure trove of information and tools about connecting with your potential clients. But first, we need to debunk the myths about emotion in business.
