What to do if someone says they can’t afford you
If a potential client says they can’t afford you then I have a thought exercise for you:
And you will resist this, so buckle up.
I want you to play with the idea that the only time an objection is actually about money is if they tell you:
“Hey, I only have $500 in my bank account, but can I give you that & figure out how to get the rest for you??”
I know, extreme. But stay with me.

If you ask someone, what would you do if your kid needed $5000 for an unexpected surgery or something? They would figure it out.
Humans are extremely capable people.
If they aren’t willing to go to extremes for your offer, it’s not about the money. It's about your messaging or your beliefs.
I’ve had clients report that “yeah, this person said they couldn’t afford me, but that they had a $50K emergency fund.” Or “Then I saw them post about their new Porsche.”
In these cases it is so clearly not about the money.
It’s about the person’s priorities. They value the money more than your offer.
And this is EMPOWERING!!!
It means that there are sooooo many people capable of paying you, you just need to work on your beliefs & your messaging.
I love a metaphor that Brooke Castillo gives - that if you had the cure for Cancer, you would be yelling it everywhere. Or if you were selling a Porsche for $500, you would be like “are you fucking nuts?? This is a Porsche, and I’m only selling it for $500?? Why aren’t you doing everything to pay me that? You could resell this for like $100,000!!”
This leads us back to your offer.
If you don’t have that level of Zest for what you’re offering, you can do the work to realize the actual value of what you’re selling.
Because women notoriously undervalue their own work.
Or you need to create an offer that you are head over heels in love with, turned on by, & obsessed with.
“I signed two clients in the last two days at nearly double the rate... holy shit!”
“Just doubled my price with a new client today!! It was soooo easy 😱”
“I've received more money than the amount I set for myself this month and I haven't even completed making or sharing an offer.”
👆🏻 By this time next month, this could be you.
