Possibly it sells, but I don't like it, not my style
Aurora Meneghello:
Yeah, the agitate part is really gross. And unfortunately it works and is constantly used, I see it all the time.

Unless you have a large actual client base in a developing country, seem’s like you could just handle one-to-one, via a scholarship, etc.
 Devora✨Ease&FlowSoul:
One way to think about this is to imagine you are a car dealership owner or any other brick and mortar business. They don't really change their prices. Having said this , I struggle with pricing here in Israel where many of my fellow immigrants are struggling to make ends meet.
 Wesley Evan Smith | Mindful Productivity Academy:
QUESTION: I'm intrigued by the idea of setting aside a percentage of profit t as a hardship opportunity for considering those who are genuinely struggling financially. Thoughts?
 Chantal:
Almost all my clients are Canadian and I’m afraid if I charge in USD I will have people pissed off and trying to negotiate in CAD instead!
 Devora✨Ease&FlowSoul:
Once I sold a VIP program to someone here in Israel who is a US tax accountant. I figured that she makes good money. She did buy my 6 month coaching program. Years later I overheard her say that she invested in (my) "exhorbitant" coaching program! I went pale!
 Devora✨Ease&FlowSoul:
I have adopted a "sliding scale" model for my own sake, even... otherwise I lose a lot of local business
 Chantal:
Replying to "I have adopted a "sl..."
That’s a GREAT idea!
 Cynthia Killion:
That's an interesting perspective, about moving to another country. Yes, perhaps if one is really committed to charging less, one should be willing to find ways in ones own life to make sacrifices and live a less expensive life. But then, I don't think that this type of sacrificial model would be for everyone.
 Christopher Schmitz:
Replying to "I have adopted a "sl..."
How does that work, please?
 Devora✨Ease&FlowSoul:
Replying to "I have adopted a "sl..."
I do state "for those who qualify" (whatever that actually means, but it does vet them first)
 Devora✨Ease&FlowSoul:
Replying to "I have adopted a "sl..."
@Christopher Schmitz Prepare the numbers. What is your service worth? And what are you willing to accept as a bottom number (that's your sliding scale bottom). Anyone else have other ideas?
 Kimberley Pittman-Schulz:
I think it’s also important to realize that we shouldn’t assume what people value and what they can afford. I never want anyone to investing in a program they truly can’t afford. However, people can be of modest means and prefer to spend on their well-being rather than ‘stuff.’ For example, when I worked in philanthropy, some of the most major charitable contributions I worked on with donors came from retired schoolteachers. They lived modestly. saved & invested very well, and were passionate about giving back. I also worked with CEOs and others far more financially well-heeled who also gave major gifts, but often NOT greater than those caring, foresighted retired schoolteachers.

charging too little in the beginning is tough because you need massive sales to make it sustainable. most people starting out don't have the audience size to support charging little
 Cynthia Killion:
OMG George, this message is SO personally relevant to me today. More in the personal realm than the business realm at the moment. Thank you very much! (I've spent all morning until now trying to help/deal with a niece of mine who is homeless/mentally ill.) Need to remember that I can't save/help everybody.
 Christopher Schmitz:
I needed to hear this!
 Devora✨Ease&FlowSoul:
The Science of Getting Rich is a great perspective - we all have the ability to tap into the abundance that is available to everyone, no matter what your background is
 Chantal:
Challenging to balance generosity and service and you did a great job fully expressing yourself @George Kao, Authentic Business Coach
 Kimberley Pittman-Schulz:
It’s you, George. I also spent 25+ years in philanthropy prior to my work now, and here’s the thing: If we earn a good living we can charitably invest in the organizations and people that actually know how to make such and personal transformation happen.
 Jessica Jennings, MS:
Peace Pilgram did depend on the kindness of others for food and shelter... I think her politics would be quite progressive, ie let's take care of each other 😊
