This is a YouTube video titled "How to Overcome Your Fear of Charging More" containing a motivational talk or monologue recorded in June 2024. The speaker discusses common fears around charging higher prices and encourages personal growth and self-confidence in professional value. The content is a single-speaker motivational or instructional talk rather than a conversation.
The fears holding you back from charging more money aren't real. You're afraid if you ask for more money, the client's going to say no. Or you're afraid the client is going to get upset with you. Or you're afraid that you aren't worth it. But it's important to internalize that all these beliefs are completely self inflicted. The way I've overcome this in myself is by recognizing that every single year I look back on my previous self and think, wow, I sucked. Back then I didn't know anything. I know so much more today. But then remembering that's exactly what I thought I about the version of me before that and before that, and before that. So as humans, we have a terrible habit of believing two faulty realities at the same time. That today I'm not ready, I'm not qualified, I can't. But also today, compared to me yesterday, or last week, or last year, I know so much more. I'm so much more qualified. And so you will always get better. You will always have more to learn and more room to grow. But that doesn't mean that you can't start today.
