Rachel Rodgers made a name for herself teaching historically excluded groups how to build generational wealth through her company Hello Seven. She found success only after realizing she needed to claim her value. It was feedback from a friend who told her she wasn’t charging enough that led to the revelation. Rachel Rodgers made a name for herself teaching historically excluded groups how to build generational wealth through her company Hello Seven. She found success only after realizing she needed to claim her value. It was feedback from a friend who told her she wasn’t charging enough that led to the revelation. When she tested doubling her fees with a new client — who easily agreed to pay, it became clear to her that she’d been undervaluing herself. The wisdom Rodgers took from that experience helped lay the foundation for the multi-million dollar business she’s created to help others learn how to claim their value.

Humphrey, believes follow-ups have the power to turn casual interactions into valuable connections.

Have you ever struggled with putting a value on your work? Rachel Rodgers made a name for herself teaching historically excluded groups how to build generational wealth through her company Hello Seven. She found success only after realizing she needed to claim her value. It was feedback from a friend who told her she wasn’t charging enough for her services as an attorney that led to the revelation. She didn’t appreciate the uninvited comment at first. “Being called out is never fun,” Rodgers said. When she tested doubling her fees with a new client who easily agreed to pay, it became clear to her that she’d been undervaluing herself. The wisdom Rodgers took from that experience is an integral part of the multi-million dollar business she created to help others learn how to claim their value. Her top advice: “I encourage you to collect rejections. See how many people you can get to say no to your price. And along the way you are going to find people saying ‘yes.’” “Once you start recognizing your value, make sure you share it with others because that information is important.”  “We have to upgrade ourselves. We have to give ourselves a raise. And when we see ourselves in that way, other people will see us in that way, as well.” Do you have a story about successfully raising the price for your work?

What motivates you to work? It’s different for everyone. “Passion shouldn’t be the standard to which everyone is held when we’re asking what they do for their job, and expecting a good answer, says Erin A. Cech, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan. “People have a lot of different motivations for why they work hard.” The better question to ask yourself, Cech says, is: “What’s the relationship to paid employment I want to have?” What’s yours?
