I love a good story. Some of my favorite business books are filled with compelling and thought-provoking stories.

Then there area handful – books from the likes of Andy Andrews, Bob Burg, Pat Lencioni and others – that don’t just include a few good stories, but are themselves told in narrative form from beginning to end.

Such is the case from our guest today, Robin Waite. His new book is called Take Your Shot: How to Grow Your Business, Attract More Clients, and Make More Money and, in it he argues that, among other things, you’ve got to change the perceptions of your business so that you can get out of your own way.

That’s right. Sometimes the problem with your struggle to succeed is you.

I learned how to better build desirable products, even though I consider myself a service provider, how to price those products confidently, and how to demonstrate value to my potential clients and customers.

In short, I learned a ton and I think you will too.

In today’s episode, I ask Robin to share:

• Tips for staying on top of your goals rather than constantly jumping from one activity to the next
• Some of the common pricing mistakes he sees coaches and other service providers make
• Understanding the lifetime value of your customers
• …and plenty more!
