TIP TUESDAY by DASH Collective!

As a small business or entrepreneur, you may often times struggle with setting a fair price for your work. We're here to remind you: DO NOT undervalue your work by cutting your prices just to gain business. Be confident in what you do and set your prices accordingly. We cannot stress this enough!

In the words of Janna Hagan, “If you never have clients tell you that you’re too expensive, you’re probably not charging enough.” And, if a client has ever told you that your prices are too high, this article is exactly what you need to read today!

There’s a delicate balance between the amount of value you offer and how much you charge for that value. If you’re reading this, we’re going

How many of you are spending time working "in" your business, rather than working "on" it?

Most entrepreneurs are artisans or specialists who have launched their own business enterprise. They are masters of their craft - they are not entrepreneurs.

As a result, most of their time is spent acting in the capacity of an employee rather than as the leader. They are, by definition, working “in” their business.

Sound familiar? Read the rest on our blog below and share: How will you start working "on" your business?

How many of you are spending more time working “in” your business, rather than “on” it?

As an entrepreneurial enterprise, we appreciate this message from billionaire businessman Mark Cuban.

"It doesn't matter where you live," Cuban writes. "It doesn't matter how you live. It doesn't matter what car you drive. It doesn't matter what kind of clothes you wear. If you use your 20s to pay off student-loan debt, avoid credit-card debt, and build savings, you'll thank yourself later."

Determining what to charge clients for your services can be a challenge. As a small business, it was something we initially struggled with at the DASH Collective.

We very quickly got over that dilemma by realizing that others will only see and pay the value in us that we see and project of ourselves. Do not undervalue your work by cutting your prices just to gain business!

Struggling with what to charge for your services? Feeling undervalued and not charging what you're worth? Check out the enlightening clip below from AspireTV.
