Every business is unique, but I like to think each business owner experiences an “a ha” moment like this: You’ve been running your business for a couple of years, your systems and processes are in place, you feel comfortable managing the key areas of your business, or you’ve delegated some key areas of your business.

132: How to Batch Your Tasks with Strategy
As humans, it’s natural for our productivity, enthusiasm, and joy to vary from day to day, week to week, and month to month. In other words, we simply can’t guarantee we’ll feel like our most productive selves during the business hours we’ve established. That’s why today, I’m going to share how to batch your tasks with strategy — how to listen to how you’re feeling each day, and plan your workday accordingly. That way, you can still make progress in your business and serve your clients well — with less overwhelm about how you’re feeling — or not feeling — during your business hours.

131: Selling Because of Values, Not Because of Pricing
A recent conversation with a current client of With Grace and Gold serves as inspiration for this week’s episode. In our brand strategy meeting, we had discussed her desire to elevate her business, raise her prices, and begin serving clients who value her work, rather than just her pricing. As part of our strategy, we recommended focusing on her values and the value she creates for her clients — rather than focusing on her prices. By doing so, her brand and her web design can be rooted in connection and in service, rather than in simply being the affordable option. Today, we’re going to share how to sell your products and services with values and value in mind, rather than pricing, so you can better connect with your Ideal Clients and ensure your brand and web design are aligned with your goals and vision.
