00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:02,070
Welcome to the hair of the dog podcast.

2
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:06,360
Today is another special bonus Thursday episode.

3
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:09,510
This time it's a biz tip Thursday.

4
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:12,960
And what that means is I am to sharing different musings

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,450
that I find from my general life,

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,980
from traveling and eating out and working in my photography business

7
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:21,390
and running and hair of the dog.

8
00:00:21,630 --> 00:00:25,770
I love to find different things that are working out in

9
00:00:25,770 --> 00:00:28,230
the real world and bring it back and let you know

10
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:30,840
how it might relate to your photography business.

11
00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:34,020
So let's see what I've uncovered this week.

12
00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:34,820
Stay tuned.

13
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:37,370
Welcome to the hair of the dog podcast.

14
00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:39,690
If yoIf you're a pet photographer,

15
00:00:39,690 --> 00:00:42,960
ready to make more money and start living a life by

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,840
your design,

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,920
you've come to the right place.

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,120
And now your host,

19
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,400
pet photographer,

20
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,440
travel addict,

21
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,670
chocolate martini connoisseur,

22
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:52,710
Nicole Begley.

23
00:00:52,710 --> 00:00:54,390
Well, I don't know there,

24
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:57,930
Nicole here back for another Biz Tip Thursday,

25
00:00:57,930 --> 00:01:01,530
and I just got back from shopping at Bath and Body

26
00:01:01,530 --> 00:01:02,430
Works. Now,

27
00:01:02,430 --> 00:01:06,120
couple different things about this story today.

28
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,020
Number one,

29
00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:10,890
I had a little money mindset trigger at bath and body

30
00:01:10,890 --> 00:01:14,940
works. So I wanted to share with you because this might

31
00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:16,560
happen to you as well.

32
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,990
And that was when I went in there.

33
00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:20,430
I was having lunch with my husbands.

34
00:01:20,430 --> 00:01:20,850
It's Monday.

35
00:01:20,850 --> 00:01:22,680
He's off is what we usually do on Mondays.

36
00:01:23,010 --> 00:01:23,310
I was like,

37
00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:25,170
I'm going to go down and get some soap because Christmas

38
00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:26,070
in a couple of weeks.

39
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:29,580
And I want my hands to smell festive when I wash

40
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:32,550
my hands and my kitchen leading up to Christmas.

41
00:01:32,790 --> 00:01:34,860
So where do I like to be able to get really

42
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:35,910
good smelling soaps?

43
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Okay. Bath and body works.

44
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:40,170
Yes. I know it's an assault on your senses when you

45
00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:41,040
walk in there,

46
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:43,020
but in small doses,

47
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:43,860
it works really,

48
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:44,310
really well.

49
00:01:45,150 --> 00:01:45,600
So anyway,

50
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,290
I walked in there,

51
00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:50,100
I went straight to the soap wall and immediately know what

52
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:51,090
my mind said.

53
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:52,320
It said,

54
00:01:52,350 --> 00:01:52,950
oh my gosh,

55
00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:54,960
four for 20 that's $5 a soap.

56
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:55,560
That's teens,

57
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,570
excessive cold.

58
00:01:56,570 --> 00:01:58,860
Do you really need to spend $5 a soap?

59
00:01:59,570 --> 00:02:01,950
Okay. And then actually it was four 50 or so because

60
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:03,450
it was six for 27.

61
00:02:03,450 --> 00:02:05,760
So pricing psychology got me.

62
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:05,970
I'm like,

63
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,900
well, I'll just get six.

64
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:07,830
Cause I'll use them.

65
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,360
So anyway,

66
00:02:09,390 --> 00:02:12,870
still my mind was thinking that seems expensive,

67
00:02:12,870 --> 00:02:15,510
Nicole, you don't need to spend that much money for soap.

68
00:02:15,540 --> 00:02:16,470
What are you doing?

69
00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:17,400
All right.

70
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:20,760
So a couple of different things to consider there.

71
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:21,450
Number one,

72
00:02:22,020 --> 00:02:24,660
where are you running into that mindset?

73
00:02:24,690 --> 00:02:26,970
That little voice in your head saying,

74
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:29,310
excuse me,

75
00:02:29,370 --> 00:02:30,780
this seems a little expensive.

76
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,160
Are you sure you want to do that?

77
00:02:32,370 --> 00:02:34,770
Because there's something to unpack there.

78
00:02:35,370 --> 00:02:36,900
And secondly,

79
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,980
this goes back to even our value as a photographer too.

80
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,970
This is not the same thing as what I could get

81
00:02:45,330 --> 00:02:47,010
less expensive somewhere else.

82
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,260
Yes. I could go to target or Walmart and get a

83
00:02:49,260 --> 00:02:51,630
99 cent thing of soap.

84
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:52,470
Guess what?

85
00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:55,560
It's not going to be pretty to match the Christmas decor

86
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,580
in my house.

87
00:02:56,580 --> 00:02:59,070
And it's not going to smell nearly as good.

88
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,270
And it's probably not going to be farming.

89
00:03:01,270 --> 00:03:01,420
All right.

90
00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:02,590
That might be a dollar 50,

91
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,780
but anyway,

92
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,790
it's a different experience.

93
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:09,340
It's a different quality of product.

94
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,490
And so we can start to say the same thing when

95
00:03:12,490 --> 00:03:13,600
we're looking at pricing,

96
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,530
our own work,

97
00:03:14,860 --> 00:03:15,400
you know,

98
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:18,310
yes, our clients can get it cheaper somewhere else.

99
00:03:18,340 --> 00:03:20,650
There is always someone cheaper,

100
00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:23,260
but what is the value that you're bringing?

101
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,270
What is the product that you're bringing?

102
00:03:25,390 --> 00:03:27,490
What is the quality of product,

103
00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:31,030
quality of image that you are bringing to the market into

104
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:32,140
that potential client.

105
00:03:32,380 --> 00:03:35,830
So I want you to remember that and I want you

106
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:37,900
to go ahead and treat yourself to the soap.

107
00:03:38,140 --> 00:03:39,670
It doesn't have to be the soap,

108
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:42,130
but is there something else that you're like,

109
00:03:42,130 --> 00:03:44,080
man, I really enjoy this.

110
00:03:44,350 --> 00:03:46,630
But then that little voice in the back of your head

111
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:48,730
says, you can get a cheaper,

112
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,110
don't spend the money on this,

113
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:52,240
but if it brings you joy,

114
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:54,610
it is a hundred percent worth it.

115
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,880
Where else can I bring a little smile to my face

116
00:03:58,090 --> 00:04:00,700
for like weeks at a time for five bucks?

117
00:04:01,210 --> 00:04:03,490
Yeah, not a lot of places other than soap.

118
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,380
So you're allowed to buy the soap.

119
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,880
You're allowed to buy the flowers.

120
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:08,530
You're allowed to get the massage.

121
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,070
These are things that bring joy into our life that make

122
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:14,440
us smile to make us enjoy the day,

123
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:16,660
if even only for a few minutes,

124
00:04:17,020 --> 00:04:20,050
but it is 100% worth it and you are worth it

125
00:04:20,140 --> 00:04:22,660
and your work is worth it and your prices are worth

126
00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:24,760
it. And yeah,

127
00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:28,450
let's make sure that we value what we have as well.

128
00:04:28,450 --> 00:04:30,430
So that way other people will as well.

129
00:04:30,490 --> 00:04:32,350
Anyway, just wanted to pop in,

130
00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:34,210
