How to leverage free without devaluing yourself, your business or the industry you love.
One of the most challenging things to do in any wellness business is to price your service. How much is our time worth? What about the space we’re using? How much does that cost? Some of these things can feel so arbitrary and then we’re left with what the going rate is.
How much are other studios charging for similar services? What does the local big box gym charge for their unlimited membership or individual classes? And then there’s all the free stuff that’s available online, on youtube, facebook, instagram and your local car dealership or health fair. How can you compete?
Last week Rebecca Sebastian and I discussed this quite a bit. So if you missed last weeks episode be sure to go back and take a listen. Rebecca is such an inspirational mentor in the industry and really said some amazing things.Today I’d like to take a deep dive into leveraging free and how to do it in ways that respect the value of what you do and protect and support the industry. And how to leverage “free” without slipping into the mudslide of exploitation.
