Expensive, That's a Lot of Money and what you don't know. [108]

What I thought was expensive and what I think are expensive are two different things these days.

I used to say..."whoa I'd never pay that"

Now I'm like "how can they charge that much, can I reverse engineer thing and figure it out?"

Now I'm intrigued, now I want to feel that energy and see what happens when I'm paying someone that amount. 

Sure it can be scary, sure it can be a lot, but...it's also empowering and creates massive action.

I've found myself in 2 different communities, that view containers different, view pricing differently and NEITHER is wrong or right, it just is and I love seeing and learning more about what I don't know, but now I do...

And I had this really great thought for an idea for a podcast, I wanted to talk about it. And I think so many times we as women especially get so wrapped up in money we get so wrapped up in the thing, the way that things are how much things cost. I'll never forget, like as an early mom clipping coupons, trying to find a way to save money because I'm going to do air quotes here, I wasn't pulling my weight, right, like I didn't have a job and trying to find ways to save money any way that I could, you know, signing up to sell Pampered Chef to signing up to sell Mary Kay like everything that I could do. to pitch in, so to speak great. So that also so I could have my own money because I always worked. And I went back to work about three months after my son was born. But then I was trying to find ways to get home, right. So get home as fast as possible, like so that I could spend more time with him. But it always had that type of work ethic. But anyhow, where I'm going with this is I want to take you back in time. Because I think this is funny, and I was thinking about this. Because sometimes we don't know what we don't know. Right? Back in 20. Oh my gosh. 2021 was a summer 2019. No, not 2000 22,009. I you know, nobody was thinking about having an online business. And maybe they were maybe they were starting but it had to be early in it. Most people started doing coaching and online things probably more around between 2015 2017 Right. That's when most people started their businesses on like becoming a coach or becoming a service provider. I actually started a business in 2012, which is skincare business. We had a website. We did most of our we did have online sales, but most of our stuff was sold at farmer's markets and locally made stores and things like that, that we have wholesale products in. I'll never forget when I was I had probably just gotten out of high school. And I was hanging out with a bunch of people. And they were telling me about this brand called Louis Vuitton. And I had never heard of Louis Vuitton. All I know is and don't no judgement here is that somebody had on a Louis Vuitton suit. And so it had like the it's just like the person's right, I had to LV like all over the suit. And I remember thinking that is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life. Like that's what I remember. Right? And then they were telling me how much it costs, how much of the purses cost, and I'm sure like that is 10x what they are now. But it was interesting that I didn't know what I didn't know, right? Like, I didn't know this brand. I didn't know anything. Like I just felt really clueless. And fast forward to me stumbling upon my current coach. The industry that I'm in and the mentors that I'm in is probably have been really big in the Click Funnels world. And everybody does things a very similar way. Right. So we have big masterminds, we have low ticket offers, you know, nobody charges probably over 12 grand for a mastermind. It's just like the industry norm in that world, right. It's what mentors do what mentors do what mentors do like, it's like, it is almost like this domino effect, right? That that mentor teaches this mentor to do, or they're the people under them their clients, right, this thing, and it's just like, everybody is learning from the top person. Right. And there are masterminds that are 20,000. There masterminds are 50. There are masterminds that are 100,000 but they're also big containers. They're not like little small containers. And so when I stumbled upon my current coach, and I think the first thing that blew me away were her prices, very high prices. I'm like, wait a second. This is insane. How can you charge this much money? Who are you like, you know, so I started digging, I look into strategy, I started trying to figure out how they're doing things because that's just one My mind goes, that's how I can teach and help my clients do what they want to do are my one on one, social media and ads clients because I can look and try to figure out what is it about them? What, how can they charge this much? How can they create this kind of container? So I stumble on to my current coach, and I'm like, wait a second, I would never pay that. Okay, that's the first thing, money block, immediate money block, right? And I start listening to her, and I'm like, wait a minute, you've got to make a move, you've got to do something crazy. Like, that's just where your business is that you know, you need help with sales, you know, you need help with launching, you know, you need this, you need this support. And so the first program I bought was three grand. And it was a program, it was no access to her. It was just learn, right? And, but I love the model, right? I was just like, Dang, this is really stretching me. And of course, because of the money that I paid, I was on every call, I was making room for every call, I was making room to do the work I was making. I was I was building confidence, actually, because I was actually not only paying for something, but I was actually implementing it all throughout, like, I was even going ahead of where she set, you know, because we were going to launch something at the end of this program. And I was like, I was doing it like I was in real time doing it. And so I was like, I'm not done with this, I want to join her program. She had a membership, that was $1,000 a month. And again, no access to her. And I'm like, Okay, I'm doing that. Next, I want to do that. And so I do that ended up going to her mastermind, which also blew me away. I did not ask when the calls were, I did not ask any details are just asked about the payment, which was over three grand a month. And there was only six people in it. And I was like, Okay, I love this because I can get more individualized attention if she's only going to take up to six people. So I said yes to that. Found out our calls. Were not every week. Like most containers in the world that I've been in the calls are every single week, right? 90 minutes every single week. And okay, so that was the first big aha, like okay, calls or every other week, no Facebook group. Every container I'm in has a Facebook group. Every single one. There was no Facebook group for this particular container. Now her membership, yes. And then I was like, Okay, I are so intrigued about this like, but I also kind of like it, I'm over it like I'm so many Facebook groups, it's just another it's it's noise, right? It's just another it's another clutter, a piece of clutter. And so then I was like, we only get calls twice a month. Most people in the industry, I've the communities that came out of our every single week. And there's no training. Literally, there's Yes, I get access to all of her trainings that she does. But the calls are literally about us. What do we need right now. And those calls are supposed to be an hour and a half, she never makes us get off if we're still working through problems will stay on for two hours. Or we'll stay on longer. And I love it because I'm not learning to do something that's not interested in me right now. Or that I'm not in another capacity to to to to implement right now. I'm literally getting real time feedback of what to do in this moment, in this moment. And so that blew my mind, her prices to work with her one on one blew my mind, like over seven grand for two calls a month. And then, you know, realizing her coach, your coach is $22,000 a month. And I've just like been introduced this whole new community that is totally like and I can see them we've done all tied together like I can the Click Funnels community and unaware like my mentor that for years has came down and learn from and it's very interesting to see these two sides, right. So we have the like strong marketers, and on one side who have all the similar pricing. And then we have the strong female. The Clickfunnels side, that side is probably more male dominant, even though there's a ton of women and I follow the women in there. But then we have the other side where we have all these really strong females who are charging insane prices. But you know what? They're getting insane results. I'm getting insane results from what I'm learning, which means I have two sides, right? coming down the pipeline, right that I'm learning from and two communities that I'm learning from which means I Get to take the best of both and create something different. And it's kind of like the Louis Vuitton thing you don't know what you don't know, I didn't know who Louis Vuitton was right? I didn't know who this whole other community was. But I'm so glad that I accidentally stumbled upon it. Because it's made me a better person, it's made me a better salesperson. It's made me better at pricing, it's made me a better mentor for the people that I work with. It's blown my mind and taught me things and, and had these thoughts in my brain. The energetic changes that I've made just in myself, the in the inner work that I've done, the mindset changes, understanding that you don't have to do things like everybody else, has been mind blowing to me. It's also helped me realize I don't want a big inner circle. That's it's never been aligned with me. And now I understand why it wasn't because, you know, I feel like, we always have to do things this way. We have to do things that way, because we see our mentors and their mentors doing it. But there's a whole nother community. And these are two communities I'm talking about. There are more than this. They're doing things way different, right. And I'm like, if I could get myself in every single one of these communities, I am going to be the wealth of knowledge. Number one, I am truly going to be able to empower my clients, my audience to do things, the ways that feels good to them to charge the way that feels good to them. There is no such thing as that's too expensive. There is no thing that that's a lot of money. It's all perspective. What do you want? If you're making $100,000 month, just 22,000? For a coach seemed like a lot of money? No. If you're making multi million dollar years to 7000, are those $33,000 A month seem like No, it doesn't. I was looking at this one coach who is $33,000 a month, not a year, a month, she has a waitlist through September just keeps raising your prices. People are paying her on a waitlist. They're saving their spot. They're reserving their time with her. Because as a result of that she gets people. And this is what is so powerful. There's a couple of different things about this, right? Like, it's a lot of money, right? That's the Crissy who didn't understand this whole other side of community. But when I started paying the bigger money, I stretched myself, it was uncomfortable. But you know what else I do in the frickin work? This is no like, $97 offer that I'm like, yeah, it's not a big deal. It's just $97. Right? This is huge money that I am trying to double and triple and quadruple. And so not only is it energetically pushing me because of the bank account situation, right? It's pushing me to do the work. It's pushing me to think differently. It's pushing me to become somebody different. That is a better version of me, right? Because if I'm only on one thought process that everything has to be done this way. I can't help different industries and different people. But if I realize wait a second, the way I've been learning things, the way I've been taught the way that my mentors have taught me the way their mentors have taught them. There's a whole nother world out here. Payment, the way that they're paying the amounts that they're paying, the way that they're leading the way that they're teaching. In this new community, there's no that's not the way it's supposed to be done. Yeah, that doesn't work. It's like, play with it. Have fun, try it, see what feels good. And although there is some comfort in knowing that things work, and you can make it better. There's also a lot of fun. And doing things a different way charging in a different way. Presenting in a different way. being bold and making bold moves, activating your audience and stead of meeting them where they're at, which is what I've always been taught meeting them where they want to go bold moves, trends, bold moves, and I am all about bold moves. I am all about pushing. I am all about learning I am all about growing I am all about getting uncomfortable. In this these containers I've been putting myself in I'm not leaving the other containers right I'm not leaving the other communities. But I'm very intrigued and watching and figuring out the marketing and the strategy behind the others because it is making me a better person is making me a better leader is making me a better coach mentor is making making me a better strategist, it's making me a better is we can be better for my business, right so that I can even help others more. I have pushed my content, like I've never pushed it before, I've been more strategic and everything that I do. It's just blown me away. It's helped me figure out that less is more, it's helped me show up differently. It's helped me align differently. It's helped me make more sales, it's helped me be more confident and sales. Because I have the best of the best of both communities, mentoring me. And so I cannot wait to bring this more to my inner circle my containers, because I know what it's going to teach them, I know what it's going to help them do. I have learned if there's anything, I don't want to be the same as everybody else. I want to be different, different, stand out different is memorable. That's why we can't copy. That's why we have to become our own. And that's why I can can take from all these containers, and I can learn from them and all these communities, and I can become who I'm meant to be. So the money is scary, the money is big, right? It doesn't mean I'm going to start charging $33,000 a month. Right. But looking and seeing that that's possible. And seeing that that can happen in the future, is mind blowing. And that's what I want you to know that maybe you're sitting around charging $10 A month or $27 a month or $97 a month. And I just want you to know that there's bigger things possible. You don't have to charge $97 a month, I took a $47 container and it's 277. Now I did I bulk it up yesterday add more to it. Yes, I did the $47 actually no longer available. But like even even to get in like I wouldn't even price it a different price. There's just not as much involved. But then I added more to this container and blew it up. It's what my audience wanted. They wanted more me they weren't quite ready for my inner circle, but they wanted more of me and I gave them that opportunity and they took it. So don't let people tell you that's not the way you do things that you can't do them that way. Don't let people push you in a box and make you feel like you can't get out of it. Do what feels good charge what feels good. And guess what you can always increase your prices. You don't have to be stuck in the price that you charge. You can always say next round goes up this amount. Next round goes up this mount. Next round goes up to this amount, because you can energetically attract more, until you're charging what you're worth. And that's one thing that I have learned throughout this whole process. So money is money. A lot of money is subjective. A lot of a lot of expensive is subjective, all these things are very subjective.
