216: Strictly Biz: Pricing Your Services, Investing in Yourself & When to Hire a Coach

The Funk'tional Nutrition Podcast

Investment is a word that often conjures up thoughts around money, especially when it comes to owning, starting or expanding a business. However, money is actually only part of the investment equation. If you’re a business owner or entrepreneur, you’re also investing your time, your knowledge, your attention and your energy into your business. So where are you investing in your business, and is it paying off?

On this Strictly Biz episode of the Funk’tional Nutrition Podcast, Erin continues the conversation about energetics in business and dives into what it means to invest in yourself, when to know it’s time to invest, plus the different ways to do it. Erin unpacks the energy surrounding many of our struggles with money and pricing your services, consumer culture, and how to get the return on investment you seek…without feeling like you’re bleeding out.

This episode is for all the business owners and practitioners who are struggling with investing in themselves, setting or raising rates, or feeling burned out. Tune in to hear why!
