Why it's time to increase your prices
EPISODE 23
Notes
It’s the start of a fresh financial year and today I’m going to be talking about why NOW is a good time to increase your prices if you haven’t already. I’ll be sharing from an objective, accounting perspective, not from a money mindset point of view, which many amazing business coaches talk about.
In this episode, I specifically talk about how inflation, superannuation and the state of our country right now all factor into why it’s time to raise your prices.
I talk about the current high inflation environment and how this impacts the cost of running your business. I also dive into recent changes to superannuation and go into detail about why I’ve increased my prices by 5% this financial year.
Inflation, superannuation and world events all factor into why it’s costing you more to do business than it did 6-12 months ago. I explain why your business profit might actually end up going backward this financial year if you don’t increase your prices.
Price increase conversations are never easy but I hope this episode helps you become clear on why your prices need to increase. Being profitable means knowing your numbers and knowing when to increase prices to cover your expenses.
