    Hey Molly… how do I know when it’s time to raise my prices?

    Think you need to raise your prices but worried you’re just being greedy? You’re not. Raising prices is math, not greed. In this episode, Molly covers when it’s time to raise your prices (hint: you don’t have to wait for January), why waiting too long makes the jump harder, how to handle new clients versus existing ones, and what to actually say. No over-explaining required. You have reasons. That’s enough.

    Hey Molly… should I niche down or change direction entirely?

    You do a lot of things, and you’re good at them. But your business feels scattered, people keep telling you to niche down, and you’re scared to commit to anything in case it’s the wrong move. In this episode, Molly breaks out grade-school math. Your services are fractions: ½, ¾, 6/7. Try to add them as they are and it’s a mess. Find the common denominator and suddenly everything adds up. You’ll hear: Why variety is normal (and often necessary) for neurodivergent business ownersWhy your business doesn’t have to make sense to people who aren’t your clientsHow to tell whether you need to niche, pivot, or change nothing at allWhy the how can be scattered as long as the who and why stay consistentExamples from a wedding florist, a social media manager and a VA turned strategistWhy “but what happens if?” is a fear-based questionThis week: list all your fractions, cross out what you don’t love, and look for the common denominator. Doing the math of your business isn’t one-and-done. It’s something you’ll come back to as you grow.

    Hey Molly… why do I talk clients out of my price on discovery calls?

    The discovery call is going great. You click, they're excited, you're excited. Then you say your price… and immediately start talking them out of it. "I know it's a lot." "We could do less." And then you never hear from them again. In this episode, Molly explains why this happens: your own financial story and money bias show up right when you say the number. But your money mindset isn't your client's money mindset. They got on that call because they already see you as valuable. You'll hear: Why a 5-cent Pokémon card and a $1,200 Pokémon card are the same piece of cardboardWhat Taylor Swift tickets teach us about perceived valueWhy knowing your prices ahead of time takes the panic out of the money partHow to price with logic instead of emotionWhy it's worth digging into where your "I'm not worth it" story comes fromHave a question you want answered on the show?

    Hey Molly… why does my business feel just as exhausting as a corporate job when I'm chronically ill?

    You left corporate because your body and brain couldn't do rigid hours and performing "fine" all day. Now your business is wearing you down too, and you can't be consistent when your capacity keeps getting zapped. In this episode, Molly pulls out the cheapest ramen in the store to explain what's actually going on. Each of your diagnoses or symptoms is a flavor packet. Some days you know which one you're getting. Other days you open the beef and it's roasted chicken, and the whole day you planned falls apart. You'll hear: Why most businesses are built for best-case-scenario daysHow to assign flavor packets to your own symptoms and needsWhy taking a break isn't inconsistency when you have a plan for itHow to find "the noodles," the part of your business that works no matter whatA this-week exercise for building a protocol for every flavorHave a question you want answered on the show?

    Hey Molly… why does my coach's plan make my business feel icky?

    Your coach says the only way to grow is to cold DM 20 strangers a day, close every discovery call on the spot, and "close the doors" on a program you could run anytime. Every time you try it, you feel gross. So are you just scared? Nope. That ick is your values talking. In this episode, Molly breaks down why one-size-fits-all business advice falls apart, and introduces the drop cookie: every business starts with the same base ingredients, but the add-ins are what make it yours. When a coach hands you their recipe and tells you to like it, of course it doesn't taste right. You'll hear: Why "if you don't do this, you won't succeed" is a fear tacticThe difference between DMing people and cold DMing peopleHow to give clients time to decide without losing the saleWhen closing the doors makes sense, and when it's fake scarcityWhy you're allowed to fire your coachA simple exercise: is this tactic something you're allergic to, a flavor you don't like, or a cookie you'd actually eat?Have a question you want answered on the show?

    Hey Molly… why doesn't the funnel everyone sells work for my business?

    You built the funnel. The opt-in, the nurture sequence, the sales page. And people still aren't moving through it the way the course promised. In this episode, Molly breaks down why funnels assume humans move in a straight line, and why real customer journeys look a lot more like a yarn ball. People loop. They lurk on your list for two years. They buy your biggest offer first. They leave and come back when they actually need you. You'll hear: Why "they didn't convert" doesn't mean "they're not a good fit"What the knots in your yarn ball are, and why you want to control those momentsWhy you should never delete unsubscriber dataHow analytics can show you what your people actually needWhy freebies built for your old ideal client keep attracting the wrong peopleHave a question you want answered on the show?
