Last night, I was a guest speaker on @Jill Hart's "Monetise your mission" mastermind inside her Client Acquisition for Coaches Community, and that is where I met the absolutely fabulous @Soph Newman. (I had my daugters school sports day and so I was a bit rushed and I forgot to post about the live, but I'll pop a replay up for you all soon.) We got into a great discussion about exactly this. How crucial it is to understand what every single minute of your time is actually worth. Sophie form the Good Girls Guide to Money has written a brilliant piece called Undercharging Isn't Generosity (It's Protection). If you have ever stared at a draft invoice, felt your chest tighten, and knocked £50 off the price before hitting send, you need to read her work. She hits on a massive truth that every entrepreneur needs to hear: what we love to call "generosity" is often just our anxiety buying insurance. We undercharge so nobody can accuse us of being greedy, and we disguise our people-pleasing as kindness. Sophie breaks this down into three specific traps that are quietly costing your business: - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿-𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗿 - You get paid for a one-hour session but give them two hours, a follow-up, and extra resources you stayed up until midnight creating, just to ensure they can't possibly be disappointed. - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 - You flinch and drop your own price before the client even has a split second to reply. Most of the time, they weren't even going to flinch—you discounted the price just to avoid your own uncomfortable feelings. - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗮𝘅 - The old, broken script that making good money and doing meaningful, helpful work cannot exist in the same room. As Sophie points out, there is absolutely nothing pure or helpful about being broke. Before you drop a price or throw in an extra freebie again, Sophie recommends asking yourself a simple gut-check: "Is this generosity coming from my Soul, or from my Role?". True generosity leaves you feeling steady and gives from an overflow; "role" generosity completely empties you out just to keep you feeling safe.

... And well done too to my super worthy competitors and friends up on the podium with me @David Ashby & @Donny Baker. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁? I did say that if we won I would show you how - well, there's a small but brilliant cheat code here. Just tell a friend or two about Wingman, and when they realise how brilliant and awesome it is, and wonder how they ever Skooled without it, you get a massive amount of points! 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗧𝗶𝗽 The power combo - Combine it with The Free Skool Extension to give your skool superpowers! And, to WIN a 1:1 with @Goose Dunlavey to plan my next strategy, it would have been worth signing myself up several times to win that!

Just a quick one... I just had to share how cool this is! 🤯 If you've ever wished you could batch and schedule your posts in Skool to get your time back... you finally can!

Basically, it does the heavy lifting so you can get your life back, track who is actually ready to buy, and focus on building real relationships without the daily manual grind. Quick poll for you all... 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹?

To all of you fellow men that are lucky enough to be fathers, I hope you are being thoroughly spoiled by your family or children today. I was woken up this morning with a delicious surpruse breakfast of smoked salmod, avocado and poached egg on toast with a cup of tea. It was much tastier than my attempt of the same on Mothers day where the toast literally caught fire 🍞🔥. I'm so lucky to be married to an ex-chef. It was perfection. 😋 Then, after I had finished my 18yo son walk into my room with a little plate he had made with some home made dark chocolates with strawberrys. It also had a glass of orange juice in the middle. My youngest daughters at a sleepover but I know when I pick her up later I'll get lots of cuddles too. What more does a Dad need? Hope you all have a great day!
