INCOME/FEES
How To Revise Your Pricing, Policies
And Procedures For The New Year

I need to make some changes. I want to start the new year knowing I can crush it for my ideal clients, as well as reach my biggest overall goals.

In some cases, that means changing fees, tweaking my work flow, or updating how certain policies read on my sites or in contracts.

But it can be overwhelming to change these things!
What if I scare off my current clients?
What if I'm not inclusive enough, and I lose potential work?

These are things all business owners fear from time to time.

But no one starts out the gate with everything set in stone. Over the lifetime of a business, revisions will constantly be made to reflect changing conditions and the desire for growth.

Think about brands you've always known, like McDonald's, for example. Sure, they still sell fast food at a reasonably low cost, just like they started out doing. But they've adapted over the years with innovation in what that menu looks like, how it is delivered to customers, and at what price those customers will pay. Sometimes they nail it, and sometimes they have to go back to the drawing board.

The needs of our businesses are no different.
