Moxie Tip 195: Self-care and Reserves

Virtual Moxie

The more self-care you engage in, the better prepared you are for lifes tiffs, or whoop-dee-doos. Also, having reserves of things like time, money, love, community, space, and opportunity makes you infinitely more present to yourself, which in turn makes you more responsive (rather than reactive) to others. So even if something goes awry, you’re more likely to handle it with ease, rather than freak out about it.

Moxie Tip 196: "Affording" Your Fee

Virtual Moxie

I could be cavalier and say, “If you want clients who will pay what you ask, only talk with people who can afford your fee.” And I’d be spot on with that. But that’s not very helpful to most people.

You can absolutely consciously create your world. Minute by minute, you have the power, and the choice. You can fill it just with what you want to fill it with.

Moxie Tip 194: Are You Sure You Work in Partnerships?

Virtual Moxie

In order for your relationship with a client to be a genuine partnership, clients have to invest and give back to you, too. That giving can come in the form of referrals, of giving you full and complete access to all the intellectual capital and resources they have at their disposal, in showing up and caring about how your business is doing, in making great suggestions for ways you might move your business forward, in keeping you and your business top-of-mind all the time, and of being whatever

Virtual Moxie

One of my coaching clients and I were talking, and she recounted that there are times when clients of her Virtual Assistance practice will say to her something like, “Can’t we find someone with a significantly lower fee to handle this?
