How to Build the Confidence to Raise Your Prices (& Stop Being Broke)

Let’s get real for a second.

If you’re feeling stuck in your business—overworked, underpaid, and wondering why success seems just out of reach—chances are, your pricing is part of the problem.

I know it’s scary. Raising your rates can bring up all the doubts:
-What if no one pays?
-What if I lose clients?
-What if I’m not actually worth that much?

But here’s the truth: If you don’t believe in your value, neither will your clients.

So today, we’re tackling the real reason you’re still undercharging—it’s not your market, your competition, or even your skill level. It’s your confidence. And once you fix that, everything changes.

Let’s dive in.

Why You’re Scared to Raise Your Prices (And Why It’s Keeping You Stuck)

If the thought of charging more makes you uncomfortable, it’s likely because of one of these fears:

-Fear of rejection. You’re afraid that if you raise your prices, people will say no, and you’ll lose business.
-Fear of not being “good enough.” Imposter syndrome creeps in, making you question if you really deserve to charge more.
-Fear of disappointing people. You worry that raising your rates will make you seem greedy or selfish.
-Fear of the unknown. You’ve never charged premium prices before, so it feels risky to try.

But here’s what you need to understand: Undercharging isn’t keeping you safe—it’s keeping you stuck.

Let’s flip the script and start building the confidence you need to charge what you’re worth without hesitation.

Step 1: Reframe Your Mindset Around Money and Worth

Most people have limiting beliefs about money that keep them trapped in low pricing. Maybe you grew up hearing things like:
-“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
-“You have to work really hard to deserve success.”
-“People won’t pay that much for what you do.”

And whether you realize it or not, these thoughts shape how you run your business.

Here’s the truth:

-Money is not bad. Charging what you’re worth is not greedy—it’s necessary.
-Your business should support your life, not drain it.
-The right clients WILL pay premium prices for premium value.

💡 Action Step: Start shifting your money mindset today.
Write down three reasons why your work is valuable. Keep this list where you can see it daily. When self-doubt creeps in, remind yourself: You are providing transformation, not just a service.

Step 2: Identify the REAL Value of What You Offer

If you’re struggling to charge more, it’s probably because you’re thinking of your work as a transaction instead of a transformation.

Example: If you’re a business coach, you’re not just selling “sessions”—you’re helping people scale their business, increase revenue, and build freedom in their life.

Example: If you’re a designer, you’re not just “making a logo”—you’re creating a brand identity that attracts premium clients.

Ask yourself:

-What is the transformation my work creates?
-How does my work help people make more money, save time, or improve their life?
-If I were my own client, what would I be willing to pay for these results?

💡 Action Step: Instead of pricing your work based on what others charge, price it based on the real value you deliver.

Step 3: Get Comfortable Saying Your New Price (Without Justifying It)

The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when raising their rates? They over-explain.

🚫 “I charge $5,000, but that includes X, Y, and Z, and I promise it’s worth it!”
🚫 “I just raised my prices, but if that’s too much, I can offer a discount…”

Confidence isn’t just about what you charge—it’s about how you say it.

-State your price and stop talking. If you don’t sound confident, clients won’t be confident paying you.
-Practice saying your price out loud. Do it in the mirror. Do it with a friend. Make it feel normal.
-Remember: If someone says “that’s too expensive,” it doesn’t mean your price is wrong. It means they’re not the right client for you.

💡 Action Step: Practice saying, “My price is [X]” without adding anything extra. Own it.

Step 4: Stop Attracting Clients Who Can’t Afford You

One of the biggest fears about raising prices is losing clients. But guess what?

-You don’t want clients who can’t afford you.
-You don’t want clients who don’t respect your worth.
-You don’t want clients who drain your energy and nickel-and-dime you.

Your pricing acts as a filter. When you charge more, you automatically attract people who:
-Value your expertise.
-Take your work seriously.

-Are willing to pay for high-quality results.

💡 Action Step: Stop marketing to bargain-hunters. Focus on attracting premium clients who see the value in what you do.

Step 5: Make It EASY for People to Say Yes

If you’re raising your prices, make sure your offer feels clear, valuable, and irresistible.

Ask yourself:
-Does my offer clearly communicate the transformation I provide?
-Does my pricing feel aligned with the results I deliver?
-Do I have testimonials or case studies to back up my value?

When your offer is strong and positioned correctly, clients won’t just pay your new price—they’ll be excited to do it.

💡 Action Step: Audit your sales page, messaging, and offer. Make sure everything aligns with your new pricing.

Step 6: Take the Leap (Because Waiting Won’t Make It Easier)

Let me tell you a secret: You will NEVER feel 100% ready to raise your prices.

- If you wait until you “feel confident,” you’ll be waiting forever.

-If you wait until “someone else charges that much,” you’ll always be behind.
-If you wait until “you have more experience,” you’ll never move forward.

Confidence doesn’t come before you raise your rates—it comes after. You build confidence by taking action, seeing results, and proving to yourself that you can do this.

💡 Action Step: Set a date right now to raise your prices—and commit to it.

Final Thoughts: Charge More. Work Less. Thrive.

Here’s the truth:

-You are already good enough.
-You are already experienced enough.
-You are already worthy of premium prices.

The only thing standing in your way? YOU.

So stop overthinking it. Stop waiting for permission. Stop playing small.

🚀 Raise your prices. Charge what you’re worth. Show up with confidence. 🚀

The right clients will pay. The success you want is possible. And the moment you decide to own your value? That’s the moment everything changes. Join the course to gain the confidence to make more money and work less
