Are You Giving Your Money Power Away?
This money block has a lot of different faces.
It might be that your prices are based entirely on what everyone else in your industry charges, even though you have no idea what is behind their numbers, and a lot of them may be undercharging too. It might be that you have a rate card, but the moment a client raises an eyebrow, you immediately offer a discount. It might be that a family member's skeptical comment, who would pay that, has been living rent-free in your head for years.
All of that is giving your money power away to other people.
Why this matters more than it seems
When you base your pricing on other people's money blocks, you inherit those blocks. When you let clients negotiate you down before they have even properly pushed back, you are not reading the market. You are reading your own fear.
And when you feel guilty about your prices, people can feel that too. Not because clients are psychic, although sometimes it feels that way, but because your uncertainty shows up in your language, your sales conversations, your follow-up, and your boundaries.
The work here is not about ignoring feedback or pretending other people's opinions do not exist. It is about building enough clarity and conviction in your own value that those opinions stop being the primary data source.
A useful reframe: someone saying your prices are too high is information about them, not a verdict on you.
What to try this week
Next time someone questions your price, practice holding it for a beat longer before you respond. Notice whether your instinct is to discount immediately. That impulse is the block. You do not have to act on it.
Affirmation: My money power belongs to me.
