http://saclouisvuitton.ucoz.org/I was a paramedic for over 8 years,Chanel pas cher. By the time I left, I had reached step nine in the union pay scale, which means I was making $25 an hour,tods chaussures, or $37.50 at time and a half, and a whopping $50/hour for double time.
It was a lot of money, and rated as one of the highest paying paramedic jobs in the U.S. Some of my colleagues were earning $80-$100K a year through doing a lot of overtime. Me,burberry pas cher, I was working part-time at that point, trying to get a business started.
When you decided to go into business, you knew that you had to charge more than you were paid at a job,lunette prada. But,lunette carrera, it may never have dawned on you the true difference between being an employee, and running a business,chaussures converse all star.
There are a lot of miniscule tasks that need to be done.
Marketing. Accounting. Organizing the office. Buying supplies (either online, or running out on errands.) Writing and editing materials. Invoicing. Researching technology (computer applications, website technology,lunette oakley, audio technology, etc.) Troubleshooting problems (time on hold with tech support),tods pas cher. Continuing education, growth, and learning. Customer support.
When I was a paramedic, my employer paid people to handle all of these details. Do I pay myself, or someone else, for all of these details? Well, I didn’t know how to at first. But, you’ll burn out if you don’t,Chloé discount.
And, where did your dreaming time go?
Before you started your business you dreamed about helping people in the way you do now,Sac Chloé. You were in a training school, or you played with your business idea as a volunteer,prada pas cher. Before it was a business,converse all star, it was a hobby, and it occupied a certain amount of your dream time.
Once you get into business, the fit hits the shan, and you are so busy with all of these details, that the dreaming-creative time that got you going in the business in the first place kinda leaks away,Why Your High Prices May Really Be Too Low.

You probably set your prices thinking only of item number 1,tods soldes, without really thinking about numbers 2, 3, and 4,gianmarco lorenzi. That means you are only charging for 25% of what you need to do. No wonder you feel as if you are on the gerbil wheel!

Keys to Funding Your Whole Business
* First: 80% to 90% of the iceberg is under water.
Those four categories I listed? Get four pieces of paper, and start brain and heart-storming all of the tasks,lunette carrera pas cher, projects, dreams, and details that go along with each of those categories.
By doing this,sacs a main Chloé, you will start to get a realistic view of your business, and so you won’t get sunk like the Titanic by a piece of the iceberg you didn’t see.
* Second: Feel the prices.
Sit a moment with what you charge for your product or service. (Take your customers out of the picture entirely,Why Your High Prices May Really Be Too Low,chanel pas cher.) This is just between your heart,Why Your High Prices May Really Be Too Low, what you offer, and your prices.
How does it feel? Do your prices feel great? Do they feel “kinda-sorta-okay-but-not-really,lunette oakley homme?” Or, do they feel heavy, horrible and gut-wrenching? Hmmm…
* Third: The spiritual secret to value.
When you sell something to someone, it is NOT an exchange. They are not trading you money for your product or service,chanel chaussures. It looks that way on the surface, but the spiritual teaching is quite different than how it appears.
Everything is the Face of the Divine,lunette Chloé, and the Divine is the Source of everything. For your client or customer who is struggling with a problem, you provide your product or service to help them,Why Your High Prices May Really Be Too Low. In doing so, to them you are a manifestation of the Divine Quality of help,sac chanel, support, caring.
Well, guess what? You aren’t actually God, you are just a manifestation and expression of God,oakley pas cher. So,Why Your High Prices May Really Be Too Low, that means that in addition to your Divine nature,chanel lunettes, you also have your human, dependent, needy nature as well. You also have need of provision, caring, and help. This means your customer is the Face of the Divine for you, a manifestation of the
Divine Quality of provision, help,sac burberry, and support.
It requires a great deal of humility on your part to ask for, and receive, a price that truly supports you. This doesn’t mean your prices need to be sky-high, but it also means you can’t allow a ‘false humility’ to keep your prices artificially low,http://france.carrera-lunette.com/.
Ask in your heart, once you have the truth of all the details your business actually does, and see what pricing might support you to be in a loving, generous space with the entire shebang that is your business.
This can be quite a mind-bender of a teaching, because we are so used to thinking in terms of “transactions,burberry soldes.” But, considering that our spiritual nature is a part of the One Unity that exists, then Who or What is transacting with Whom,sac chanel?
In both directions, to you and to the client, it’s the Divine giving from the Infinite Source.Related articles:
