Can you really make six figures as a mediator? The answer is YES—but only if you run your practice like a business. So, what sets those who are making six figures apart from those who are not? In this week’s episode, Susan shares four key principles from her 6-Figure Mediation Practice Blueprint to help you shift your mindset, increase revenue, and charge what you are worth!
Tune in to hear what high-earning mediators do differently and how you can start putting these strategies into practice today.
Four essential strategies for reaching a six-figure income in this episode:
- Shift your mindset from practitioner to business owner
- Position yourself as the go-to-expert in your field or niche. Generalists struggle, specialists thrive.
- Why diversifying revenue is key: Hourly billing alone won’t get you to six figures!
- Raise your rates and use pricing strategies that work. The best clients pay for results, not time. Charge for what you deliver, not how long it takes!
