If you are dyslexic and running your own business this post is for you.
People with dyslexia often undervalue their worth and over deliver. This leads to their products or services under priced and not reflective of their energy and worth. This results in burn out and ultimately not making any money or resenting the service or product that you provide. TRUTH – We are not in school anymore. That hang up of no one noticing our 110% effort, or our effort not equally our attainment, doesn’t have to be true in adulthood! If you’re running your own business, you’re likely doing the thing that you are brilliant at and the thing that you love.
You deserve to be paid for that.
The best bit! You get to decide on the price that you KNOW your effort and energy is worth! Don’t run yourself into the ground providing an incredible service or product that you can’t sustain so you burn out, or even worse let your business go under! The world needs your services and products more than you need to be burn out and over delivering!
It’s not selfish to charge what you are worth. Dyslexic people are brilliant we just do things differently … Different not less than. In fact it’s probably more than because when we work with our brains our potential and skill set are incredible! Does this resonate with you?
(And if it makes you feel any better I have really just written this for me, because I have realised I have been playing small for far too long!)
