Can you mix friends and money?

This week’s question: 

I have a question related to working with friends and offering them a professional service. So what is the best way to navigate asserting your value while also respecting your friendship and the compassion you want to have for their financial situation?

 

Discover:

• The uniquely challenging dynamics involved when offering professional services to a friend, how to navigate them, and when you should call it quits. 
• Advice on understanding and empathising with your friend's situation, without letting it blur professional boundaries. 
• How to define clear boundaries (whether through contracts or explicit communication) that ensure both parties understand when you are in a professional versus personal context.
• The energetics that can influence our pricing. Ellen talks about the concept of ‘internal and external’ pricing, balancing what one needs and what one thinks people will pay.
• Why it’s crucial to hold strong in your professional value. This means having confidence in your pricing and not undercutting yourself out of a sense of obligation.
