“There’s a real fear to charge what you’re worth.”
-Melissa Houston

How is your money mindset holding you back from reaching the success you’ve always dreamed about?

My guest for this episode is Elizabeth St. Pierre, an entrepreneur and business coach who grew her first company, a dog-walking business, to six figures in just six months. She started a blog, where she talked about running her business and offered sales and marketing advice to others. This was the start of her business coaching career — she now oversees the dog-walking business while coaching online full-time. Throughout all of this, Elizabeth has been self taught — everything from content creation to driving traffic to learning how to sell! 

Elizabeth sees a lot of money mindset issues when working with her clients, particularly when it comes to women entrepreneurs. Money is just a neutral tool that you can use for good or bad, so why is it so emotionally charged? As Elizabeth says, “Growth happens when you take emotion away from the money.” The first step is recognizing where these emotions stem from — and you may need to go back further than you think to find out. 

“If you go ahead and raise your prices but you don’t truly believe that you’re worth that, you’ll do other things to self sabotage.”

- Elizabeth St. Pierre
