The Historical Context of Unpaid Women’s Work
Historically, the services provided by women were often considered unpaid labor.
Their work as caregivers, clothing makers, and food preparers was seen as an extension of their familial duties, rather than a valuable skill set deserving of financial compensation.
This bias still exists in the modern world, where the work of coaches, nutritionists, and other service providers is often undervalued compared to traditionally “skilled” professions like dentistry or accounting.
The justification is that these roles don’t require the same level of formal education, despite the transformative impact they can have on people’s lives.
Overcoming the Guilt and Embracing Your Worth
To overcome the guilt and embrace your worth, consider the following strategies:
1. Offer Accessible Options
Provide a range of services at different price points, including free resources and affordable packages. This allows you to serve those who genuinely cannot afford your full-priced offerings, while still valuing your expertise.
2. Recognize the Value You Provide
Understand that your skills, experience, and ability to transform lives are just as valuable as any other service provider. Charging for your services is a fair energy exchange, not an act of greed.
3. Bless and Release
If someone is not ready to work with you due to financial constraints, bless them and release them from your responsibility. Their journey is not yours to control, and you cannot remove their blocks if they are not willing to do the work.
4. Shift Your Mindset
Believe in the abundance of potential clients who are ready and willing to invest in your services. Avoid the scarcity mindset that keeps you undercharging and undervaluing your offerings.
5. Seek Support
Consider joining a community or working with a mentor who can help you overcome the financial blocks and fears associated with charging your worth. Their guidance can be invaluable in your journey to success.
Remember, when your business is thriving, you’ll be in a better position to give back and support others in ways you couldn’t have if you had continued to undercharge. Embrace your worth, and watch your impact grow.
