Lowest Price Wins. Or does it?

Sometimes being the lowest price is not the reason for celebration.  If your product or service is of high quality, there is no reason to cut your price so low  you struggle.  If you cut your price too much or too often, you are actually lowering people's impression of your company and what you offer.

Keep your pricing moderate for what you offer and don't bend too much just to get business.  Once you bend, they will keep you bending, until you break - and it will usually be your pocketbook that breaks.

If you have something of value to offer, it should be worth it's value.  It should not be undercut because someone is looking to get something for nothing.  Be kind to your customers but also be kind to yourself.  You want to stay in business and not sell yourself into slavery.

Today's Focus: Give Yourself a Break!

Today's Focus:  Give Yourself a Break!

Sometimes we can feel we have not made it far, when if we actually looked thru someone's eyes besides our own, we would see we have come far and accomplished much.  We are harder on ourselves many times than others would be, because we expect a lot of ourselves.  This is a good trait, to a point.  Past that point it becomes a stumbling block and not a help.  One must balance the demands and expectations we place on ourselves, with our abilities and the number of hours there are in a day.  We cannot do it all in one day and should not expect that of ourselves.  ... So, cut yourself some slack once in awhile and take some time to enjoy life as you work hard to reach your goals in life.
