We've all been there and done that. Put on the bid blinders so we don't have to endure the truth, or face the reality. Well, I'm afraid you cannot fix any problems or begin to fix them if you don't know what they are!

The global average is 62% of consumers have unwanted/unneeded subscriptions. Of this 62%, the minimum saving is expected to be $512 per year. Checking your Bank Account/s, PayPal & Stripe on a regular basis can help you know exactly what you are paying for. The theory of "I might need that next month" may not be the best answer, unless you are on a 'grandfather' plan you don't want to lose the benefit of. However, this can also be a trap for us to continue to pay a lower rate for something we will never use.

Your business sales have increased, woohoo, go you and you're bad self! This is a reminder to keep an eye further down the page. Traditionally when sales increase, so do our expenses. Sadly sometimes it can shrink our margins without us even noticing. Please celebrate the success, but please don't relax in the glory. More sales need more careful eyes to ensure it's not being gobbled up and eroding your profit.

We often fall into the trap of trying to create an attractive price, to attract more customers and clients to buy. This can also lead us to believe that if it's cheaper more people will buy. This may not be the case for everything. Ensure your prices value your or your product's worth. You can always run a sale, offer a bonus, give a coupon code for a special occasion, but the base value or RRP needs to be set correctly from the beginning. There is value in being priced correctly to display value, expertise, and the years of experience or problem you solve.
