One of the major reasons why we fail to find happiness or to create unique lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being.

While we are home our thoughts are still absorbed with solving the challenges we face at the office. And when we are at the office we find ourselves worrying about problems at home.

We go through the day without really listening to what others are saying to us. We may be hearing the words Elgton Jenkins Packers Jersey , but we aren't absorbing the message.

As we go through the day we find ourselves focusing on past experiences or future possibilities. We are so involved in yesterday and tomorrow that we never even notice that today is slipping by.

We go through the day rather than getting something from the day. We are everywhere at any given moment in time except living in that moment in time.

Lifestyle is learning to be wherever you are.

It is developing a unique focus on the current moment, and drawing from it all of the substance and wealth of experience and emotions that it has to offer.

Lifestyle is taking time to watch a sunset.

Lifestyle is listening to silence.

Lifestyle is capturing each moment so that it becomes a new part of what we are and of what we are in the process of becoming.

Lifestyle is not something we do; it is something we experience. And until we learn to be there, we will never master the art of living well.

To Your Success,

Pricing Strategies: How Much Do I Charge for My Service? ECommerce Articles | July 11 Darnell Savage Jr. Packers Jersey , 2008
Determining what to charge your clients is often not as easy as you might think. After you determine your overhead and the rate you need to charge to meet you expenses and make a profit, you may end up with a price that you're not comfortable with charging. Here's how you can overcome your "emotional price point" barrier and run a profitable business.

"I'm not sure what to charge my clients" is one of the most common refrains I hear from new online service business owners.. It's a problem that plagues even the veteran business owner as she becomes more aware of her competition and what monetary value her skills hold in the marketplace.


How do you decide how much you're going to charge? Here's the bottom line -- you have to charge enough to be able to sustain yourself in business. Make sure that you're a "true" business owner netting a decent take-home pay each month without depending on savings, another job, or a spouse's income to make ends meet. This rate easily enables you to pay for your overhead and business expenses, ongoing professional training and development Rashan Gary Packers Jersey , and benefits you had while working for someone else -- things like vacation time, health insurance, life and disability insurance, for starters. And remember, you'll need to factor in what you'll pay in self-employment taxes and state income tax (as applicable) and pay those as scheduled to prevent the tax man from knocking at your door.


When you determine your rate Jaire Alexander Packers Jersey , realize that if you're billing hourly, you'll probably only bill 20-30 hours per week, rather than 40. Why? Because you're running a business, which means that you'll spend part of a day engaged in non-billable tasks, like marketing activities Aaron Rodgers Packers Jersey , meetings, consults with prospective clients, lunches with friends, etc.


If you decide to use pricing as a strategy to undercut your competition by charging less than everyone else, in the long run you're not doing yourself or your clients any favors. You'll soon discover that your low prices make it impossible for you to afford to stay in business after the first year. This means that you've put your clients in a bind Womens Za'Darius Smith Jersey , as they have to go now and find someone else to provide the service for which they hired you. Ultimately, this low pricing decision will probably result in you closing the business and returning to work for someone else, as you need some income to pay the bills as they arrive. So, who's won in this scenario? I frankly don't see any winners here. In the long run, low pricing strategies only work for high volume businesses and make service business owners go out of business quickly.


"Emotional price points" are another key issue that will frequently hold an online business owner hostage. A service business owner will set a price that she'd like to charge Womens Billy Turner Jersey , but in her heart of hearts, she truly doesn't feel she's worth that rate. How can you "convince" your inner critic that you're worth what you need to charge to make a decent living? Play around with your pricing structure until you've found a rate that you can comfortably discuss with potential clients without stammering or stuttering. Trust me, if you don't believe you should be charging what you say you charge, potential clients won't believe it either. And, if that price point falls below that minimum standard that you need to be successful Womens Adrian Amos Jersey , seek the counsel of a business coach, friend, or colleague for support. You deserve to make a decent living and be successful in your business, but you have to be willing to set yourself up for success to make that happen.


If you still have difficulty with this concept, here's what John Ruskin Womens Preston Smith Jersey , a very successful Victorian-age entrepreneur said in 1890 about this subject: "It's unwise to pay too much, but worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money -- that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing is was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a.
