WHAT’S ON TAP?
This episode’s topic comes from one of the podcast launch contest winners. Tracy Fixen won the iPad Mini and boy was she excited! Watch her video here. And be sure to follow her on social media – she is so funny! I asked her if she had any burning questions and she had a lot, but this one really jumped out at me because it’s a common problem among both newbie and seasoned entrepreneurs. How do you know when to start charging – and if you’re getting paid what you’re worth? We all want to get paid for our hard work and expertise, but sometimes our passion for helping others clouds our financial foresight. In this episode I will give you a checklist of 16 things to help you determine when and how much you should be charging for your work.
