Today's episode is all about defining your ideal lifestyle. Now I know this may seem a little off-topic for a business podcast, but I promise, it's not. We are going to dive deep into your core motivators and how they play an essential role in the entrepreneur lifestyle you want to live.What motivates people to do what they do? So many people can't answer that question. Or they allow other people in their lives or social media influencers to determine their motivation.  That's why today, we are focusing on you as an individual and discovering what motivates you and what your ideal lifestyle looks like.  Forget about the business lifestyle you think you should have and focus on yourself and what works for you. Let's build your ideal lifestyle! In today's episode, we're specifically covering:The truth behind being a successful entrepreneur and hitting 100KWhy you want to be an entrepreneurHow to determine your core motivatorHow to define your dream lifestyleWhat do you care about?What lights you up and what drains you?How to unlearn what everyone is telling youHave you heard?

Today we are diving into a subject that I have wanted to talk about for a while: Offering premium services and charging premium prices. We'll discuss the 10 service upgrades you want to be making to your packages to justify those premium prices.As entrepreneurs, it's only natural that we will want to charge more for our services as time goes on and as we become more skilled. However, when the thought of raising our prices comes up, we get so nervous! We start to think:"What if my clients don't want to pay that much?""Will they push back?""How can I justify these prices?"Don't worry! This line of thinking is so normal and I guarantee you every entrepreneur has been where you are now. Raising prices is something everyone wants to do, but they feel like they can't do it or don't know how to do it. So that's why I'm getting into how to charge premium pricing in today's episode.  Exciting announcement: On April 30th, early bird tickets for our Yay for 100K Virtual Conference are going on sale!

Let's talk about the myth of the solopreneur. Too many people try to work alone in their businesses for too long. I get it! This is something every business owner goes through. But in today's episode of the Yay for Business Podcast, I want to present you with an alternative approach that will make you even more productive.Step 1: I want you to stop identifying as a solopreneur. I know this can be hard. The word "solopreneur" is empowering and so many business owners feel pride in being a one-person operation. They think that they are synonymous with their business. However, the truth is it's unrealistic to be a solopreneur forever. It can set you up for serious stress and limit your business growth.Step 2: Hire a VA! A virtual assistant (VA) is the first step in your journey from stressed solopreneur to booked out boss. Once you realize that you are not your business and that by trying to do everything, you're actually burning out and limiting your growth, it's time to bring on some help.That's why in episode 28, we are talking about how to hire a VA and 25 tasks you can assign them to free up your time and let your business grow. Download the FREE list of 25 tasks you can assign to your VA (plus lots of helpful details) here!In today's episode, we're specifically covering:When you should hire a VAThe return on investment from hiring a VAWays to find a VA *Going through an agency *Contractor VA* Hiring as an employeeOnboarding your VAThe hiring processWhat type of VA are you looking for?Why you need to create a list of things that you don't want to doTraining your VAHow to get as clear as possible on their job titleThe 25 tasks that you can hand over to your VA todayHopefully, this list helps give you some guidance on hiring your first VA and what tasks you can assign them. Just remember to get specific on exactly what you need help with and be ready to train them.In next week's episode, I'm addressing those of you who are too busy to work on your business. We are talking about business owners who are overflowing with client work but still struggling to grow their business and their income. If that's you, you won't want to miss it!  If you're ready to take your business to the next level, or maybe you need a little more guidance on growing your team, apply to join us in my high-touch coaching group, Yay for 100K!  Resources mentioned in today's episode:25 tasks to give to your VABook: Culture Code - Daniel CoyleConnect with Courtney Chaal:Instagram: courtneychaalWebsite: https://courtneychaal.comFacebook group: Get More Clients ClubEmail: courtney@rulebreakersclub.com

Welcome back to the Yay for Business Podcast! In today's episode, we are tackling time management for rebels.  What is a time management rebel? A time management rebel is someone, like me, who is very action-oriented, but struggles with a lot of the advice that may work for other people.I've always been fascinated by how people spend their workday, how they produce results, and what actions they take. Because most of the strategies they use don't work for someone like me (and I know I'm not the only one), I wanted to create something that would work for us time management rebels.  In today's episode, I want to celebrate you and your unique way of doing things, and give you some strategies that can help you tackle time management.This episode will cover:Not letting the tools be in charge of your schedule (you are in charge!)Thinking about the positive qualities that come with your calendarWhat is causing you to avoid that task on your calendar?What is the consequence of not completing what's on your calendar?The big rock conceptPrioritizing self-careKnowing your work prioritiesShort-term vs. long-term thinkingHaving unrealistic expectationsWhat would you need to do to take time off?My planning methodsNext week's episode is all about hiring your first VA and the 25 tasks you should give them.  I am so excited about this topic because people always ask me what tasks they should hand off to their VA. Well, I have the answer - 25 of them - so you'll want to tune in for that! Exciting news! We have a virtual conference coming up next month. So mark your calendars for May 31st - June 2nd (and our VIP Bonus Day on June 4th).

In today's episode, we are diving into how to set up boundaries, and what specific boundaries you need, as a service provider. I am so excited to be talking about this with you because boundaries are my jam. Before we go any further, this episode plays directly off of episode 19, where we talk about people pleasing. So if you missed that one, I definitely recommend going back and having a listen.During the month of February I'm breaking down the three massive mistakes that all service providers make. In episode 18, we talked about the first mistake: Pricing your services incorrectly. This also included access to an exclusive freebie, my client capacity calculator, that helps you figure out how many clients you need at what price point in order to hit your monthly goal.

This is an episode I will be referring people back to for years to come. If you or someone you know is a people pleaser, you'll want to be sure to bookmark this episode! Many of us are considered people pleasers, which isn't always a bad thing. However, I'm passionate about reframing this concept. This is people pleasing like you've never understood it before.We start by diving deep into the two core myths that surround people pleasing and what they have to do with making other people happy. As you're listening, you may start to identify as a people pleaser or notice some people pleasing tendencies in yourself. Here's a secret: You're not alone!I'm also going to be looking at the connection between people pleasing and being a good person. Just because you're done with people pleasing doesn't mean you're not a good person! The purpose of today's episode is to simply take that connection and change the way we look at it. In today's episode we're specifically covering:The five main ways people pleasing shows up for service providersHow people pleasing shows up in over customizing your services and creating custom proposalsHow people pleasing shows up when you undercharge for your servicesWhy you keep saying yes to PITA clientsYour top fears in setting boundaries and expectationsWhy you say yes to things you don't want to doHow you enable clients and create codependencyWhy you care if someone else likes youHow to practice saying no to someoneIn next week's episode, we will be talking about creating and upholding boundaries. That episode will go hand in hand with this week's episode because boundaries are the cure to people pleasing; they are the thing that gives you what you want. Here's a little challenge for you before next week's episode goes live: Practice saying no. Start saying no to people pleasing, no to tasks you don't want to do and no to PITA clients. If you're ready to move to the next step in your business, don't forget to check out my program Yay for 100K!Resources Mentioned: Episode 18: How to price your services and get your free Client Capacity Calculator.Connect with Courtney Chaal:Instagram: courtneychaalWebsite: https://courtneychaal.comFacebook group: Get More Clients ClubEmail: courtney@rulebreakersclub.com

The number one question I get from service providers is, “How do I price my services?” So on today's episode, I'm going to provide you with the exact information you need to price your services - and it’s probably not going to be what you think!Every successful entrepreneur started where you are now. They had no idea where to start or how to price their services, so don’t feel like you are the only one that is completely lost. I’m going to help break down everything you need in this episode. BONUS: I’m offering you a special freebie with this episode. Head to courtneychaal.com/calculator, download the client capacity calculator and be sure to follow along with this episode. In episode 17, I talked about the three biggest mistakes that all service providers are making. If you did not listen to that episode, I recommend going back and listening because it will give you a great overview of the topics I'm going to dive deep on this month. In today’s episode, we’re specifically covering:3 beliefs about pricing that come up for service providers Why being affordable is a terrible goalStep by step instructions for you to follow along with the client capacity calculatorHow to get clear on the workload per clientWhy you should not price per hourHow to determine how many hours a week you work towards your business and how many hours you spend on client workHow to determine revenueWhat you need to know about packaging, positioning and mindsetWhat happens if you have more than one serviceAfter listening to this episode, if you still feel like you need some help or you’re simply just stuck on how to price your services, then apply for Yay for 100K .

This month on the Yay for Business podcast I'm sharing three HUGE mistakes all service providers are making. In today's episode, I'll give you the context for where these mistakes come from and how they're showing up in your business. Then in the next three episodes, I'll dive deep into each mistake and explain how you can beat them.I used to think there were only two options for service providers: You were booked out or you weren't. But after years of working with entrepreneurs and starting my high-ticket coaching program, Yay for 100K, I learned that being booked out and not being booked out are the same thing. Just because you're booked out doesn't mean you're not burned out. And it doesn't mean you're still not making some big mistakes in your business! In today's episode, we're specifically covering :Two belief systems that are causing us to get stuck in mindset trapsBelief number one: "I'm responsible for other people's happiness."Belief number two: "My needs are less important than the needs of others."Mistake #1: PricingWhy money is the water and lifeblood of your businessWhat do you need to charge to meet your financial goalsMistake #2: People pleasingWhat people-pleasing looks like in your behaviorUnfounded fears with people-pleasingMistake #3: No boundariesHow boundaries are all about protecting your energyHow the quantity of your work affects your boundariesAlong with the quantity of work, a lot of service providers have problems with client capacity. This means taking on more clients than you can handle and not having the right pricing. If this sounds like you, be sure to go back and listen to the episode Scheduled Smackdown for Service Providers. Be sure to tune in next week when we discuss how to price your services and the mindset strategies you need to become a successful service provider. Connect with Courtney Chaal:Instagram: courtneychaalWebsite: https://courtneychaal.comFacebook group: Get More Clients ClubEmail: courtney@rulebreakersclub.com
