    Episode 69: Asking For Your Worth

    Alan and Matt are back with another juicy podcast where they share insights, experiences and wisdom to business owners and entrepreneurs. This episode was recorded on their return from their summer break and initially draws on a news story that got the boys thinking about valuing the services we provide as businesses and being aware of the transformation they can offer. As well as addressing some of the money-mindset issues that can hold us back, they also discuss the notion of "value added" services, the need to reflect regularly on pricing structure and getting comfortable with your offering and pricing.   Drawing on some examples from current affairs and sharing candidly on their own business expertise with a good dose of their usual wit this is sure to bring clarity and an opportunity to reflect on where we are on our own business journey.
