Britany Felix, Podcast Consultant

Britany started her career while working a full-time job, renovating her house, and planning to go location Independent. All of this meant minimal sleep for several months. While Britany says owning a business is still hard, it's a very different kind of hard. The determination that got her through those first few months taught her to push through and believe in her success.

As entrepreneurs, we have to keep an eye out to make sure that we're not working every waking hour. When you love what you do it's really easy to say "I don't need hobbies, I enjoy my work and it's enough". Only it's not enough. We need to relax we need to wind down, we need to take time to refresh. The push that gets us going, that gets us stabilized in our businesses, eventually no longer serves us. Eventually, we need to step back and enjoy what we've created.

For most of us, we start out priced too low. And many of us keep those prices too low. We have this idea of the struggling freelancer and we've got to let that go. Britany says that every time she raises her prices, which she does 3 to 4 times a year, she gets a new client at her new rates almost immediately. When was the last time you raised your rates?
