Casting Off Perfection: Embracing Progress in Business and Life

Hey Moxie Movers! Welcome back to another empowering episode of the Moxie Movement podcast. I'm your host, Sarah Greener, and today in Episode 17, we're diving deep into a topic close to my heart and, I bet, yours too.
🎙️ In This Episode:
We're exploring the entangling vines of perfectionism and how it's been a personal journey for me – one that I'm still navigating. I share a recent experience that highlights my ongoing battle with perfectionism and how I'm learning to balance it with the demands of being a business owner, a mom, a wife, and more. This episode is a candid conversation about giving yourself grace while remaining consistent in your business.
🚀 Why This Matters:
Perfectionism can be a business's silent roadblock. It's that nagging voice telling you it's not good enough or you're not working hard enough. We address why striving for perfection can lead to stagnation and how embracing progress, even if imperfect, is the real game-changer.
✨ Key Takeaways:
Progress over perfection: Why this mantra wins every time.
The illusion of the perfect moment and how it holds us back.
Setting realistic deadlines to combat perfectionist tendencies.
Embracing the beauty of imperfection in your business journey.
🔥 Real Talk Alert:
I get real about the pressure of juggling house renovations, end-of-year activities, and podcast recording. Learn how I navigated these challenges without sacrificing my sanity or family time.
💡 Sarah’s Insights:
Hear about the 'Six-Minute Email' philosophy and how it revolutionized my approach to tasks. Plus, discover the power of the 'Success Map' in overcoming perfectionism in business processes.
🎉 Moxie Movement Mantra:
"Embrace the progress, one percent better every day. Let go of perfection and step boldly into action."

The Price Is Right: Increasing your Prices with Confidence

🎙️ Welcome to another episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, where we ditch the fluff and dive deep into real talk for business-savvy moms like you. I'm your host, Sarah Greener, and today, we're tackling a topic that's crucial yet often overlooked: pricing increases in your business. 🚀
Key Highlights:
Why Annual Price Increases are a Must: Discover why it's critical to adjust your prices yearly, even if it's just a slight increase. In this episode, I break down the psychology behind regular price increments and how it sets expectations with your clients - just like big corporations do.
The Pitfalls of Stagnant Pricing: Hear about the dangers of not increasing your prices and how it can erode your profit margins. I share personal insights and industry knowledge on why keeping your prices static can be more harmful than you think.
Strategies for Communicating Price Increases: Learn the art of conveying price changes to your clients. I provide simple yet effective communication techniques to help you navigate this transition smoothly.
This Week's Golden Nugget: Remember, it's not just about raising prices; it's about valuing your worth and ensuring the sustainability of your business. If you've been holding back on price increases, now is the time to make that change.
