Money Mindset Makeover: Building a Business that Honors Your Worth

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1837322/fan_mail/new] Are you charging what you’re worth—or just what you think people will pay? In this lively episode of The WEBB Remedy Podcast Money Mindset Series - sponsored by PNC Bank - co-hosts Rinnie Orr and Stephanie Basima Terry sit down with Dr. Henry C. McKoy, President and CEO of the Carolina Community Impact Fund [https://ccifund.org/], to unpack the tricky intersection of pricing, money mindset, and entrepreneur burnout. Dr. McKoy brings a powerhouse background—from banking and entrepreneurship to teaching and public service—to help entrepreneurs rethink how they value their time, energy, and expertise. Together, the trio dives into: * The real cost of underpricing your products and services * How to calculate your true value (and stop guessing your worth) * Why burnout often starts with mindset, not workload * Practical ways to build systems, delegate, and protect your energy * How to reframe sales as service and lead with purpose Questions to reflect on while you listen: * Are you setting prices that reflect your value—or your fears? * What stories do you tell yourself about money and worth? * How can you shift from survival mode to sustainability? * What would it look like to treat sales as an act of service, not self‑promotion? * Where can you create more space for rest, strategy, and joy in your business? This episode is equal parts strategy session and mindset reset—perfect for any entrepreneur ready to stop discounting themselves and start building a business that honors both purpose and profit. Grab your favorite drink, press play, and get ready to rethink how you price, sell, and sustain your entrepreneurial journey. #podcast [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/podcast?__cft__[0]=AZabDZcQt0v_EVMOF5ICpqcTVdySUnccGRwiOPTZHFPez4-i41a6bPk1fFHW9s8F-45D7wd6ihvj9xbGkeO5KkBXluKqlWT3MHPeZY3qpyeBINZQKQPuW1el8SZLvWxMYQJE0tbzKGJVZQVIAfKAbU49&__tn__=*NK-R] #podcastersunite [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/podcastersunite?__cft__[0]=AZabDZcQt0v_EVMOF5ICpqcTVdySUnccGRwiOPTZHFPez4-i41a6bPk1fFHW9s8F-45D7wd6ihvj9xbGkeO5KkBXluKqlWT3MHPeZY3qpyeBINZQKQPuW1el8SZLvWxMYQJE0tbzKGJVZQVIAfKAbU49&__tn__=*NK-R] #podcasting [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/podcasting?__cft__[0]=AZabDZcQt0v_EVMOF5ICpqcTVdySUnccGRwiOPTZHFPez4-i41a6bPk1fFHW9s8F-45D7wd6ihvj9xbGkeO5KkBXluKqlWT3MHPeZY3qpyeBINZQKQPuW1el8SZLvWxMYQJE0tbzKGJVZQVIAfKAbU49&__tn__=*NK-R] #podcasters [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/podcasters?__cft__[0]=AZabDZcQt0v_EVMOF5ICpqcTVdySUnccGRwiOPTZHFPez4-i41a6bPk1fFHW9s8F-45D7wd6ihvj9xbGkeO5KkBXluKqlWT3MHPeZY3qpyeBINZQKQPuW1el8SZLvWxMYQJE0tbzKGJVZQVIAfKAbU49&__tn__=*NK-R] #podcastshow [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/podcastshow?__cft__[0]=AZabDZcQt0v_EVMOF5ICpqcTVdySUnccGRwiOPTZHFPez4-i41a6bPk1fFHW9s8F-45D7wd6ihvj9xbGkeO5KkBXluKqlWT3MHPeZY3qpyeBINZQKQPuW1el8SZLvWxMYQJE0tbzKGJVZQVIAfKAbU49&__tn__=*NK-R] #podcaster [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/podcaster?__cft__[0]=AZabDZcQt0v_EVMOF5ICpqcTVdySUnccGRwiOPTZHFPez4-i41a6bPk1fFHW9s8F-45D7wd6ihvj9xbGkeO5KkBXluKqlWT3MHPeZY3qpyeBINZQKQPuW1el8SZLvWxMYQJE0tbzKGJVZQVIAfKAbU49&__tn__=*NK-R] #nonprofit [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/nonprofit?__cft__[0]=AZabDZcQt0v_EVMOF5ICpqcTVdySUnccGRwiOPTZHFPez4-i41a6bPk1fFHW9s8F-45D7wd6ihvj9xbGkeO5KkBXluKqlWT3MHPeZY3qpyeBINZQKQPuW1el8SZLvWxMYQJE0tbzKGJVZQVIAfKAbU49&__tn__=*NK-R] #nonprofitwork [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/nonprofitwork?__cft__[0]=AZabDZcQt0v_EVMOF5ICpqcTVdySUnccGRwiOPTZHFPez4-i41a6bPk1fFHW9s8F-45D7wd6ihvj9xbGkeO5KkBXluKqlWT3MHPeZY3qpyeBINZQKQPuW1el8SZLvWxMYQJE0tbzKGJVZQVIAfKAbU49&__tn__=*NK-R] Special Thanks: This episode is sponsored by PNC Bank, proud collaborator of WEBB Squared in creating the Money Mindset Conversation Series.
