How many of us who provide our services as a business actually think in terms of profit? The timing couldn't be better for my conversation with Patty Block. An expert herself, Patty works with female expertise-based service providers on being intentional in their business models, transitioning from transactional to transformative pricing structures, and better understanding how to integrate profit into their revenue model.

We’ll cover:

The biggest difference between being a business owner and an employee
Surprise! You already have a business model, but does it really fit your unique business value and needs?
The benefits of value-driven pricing and the burdens of hourly billing
Recent recession trends and how to fight the impulse to “ride it out.”
As a bonus, you’ll hear the parable of the broken cookie – take it to heart!

I so appreciated Patty’s insights, and she really reminded us that knowing your value is not bragging, it’s the key to a profitable business on your own terms. And when you’re ready to talk about your own pricing structure, let’s talk about valuing your IP.
