As many of you know, I’ve recently started offering “pay what you can” afford business coaching and life coaching sessions and workshops.

I’m not the only one. I’m part of a “pay what you can” movement. Restaurants, theaters, yoga classes, personal trainers, speakers, spas, cab drivers and health care clinics, just to name a few, have initiated this. I just heard an interview on the concept of “pay what you can.”

I think “pay what you can” is going to become more common and here’s why…

• It seems like many of us are becoming paralyzed because of a lack of trust, whether it’s because of corrupt people like Bernie Madoff or dicey situations, like whether we will have a job next week. “Pay what you can” builds trust, which we need more than anything now.
• I think most of us think of value being associated only with price.  Instead “perceived value” should be redefined as associated with quality or the customer’s opinion of the value.
• It helps businesses put “making a difference” and “doing the right thing” at a higher priority than “making money and “exceeding sales goals.”
• “Pay what you can” equalizes the economy. If we don’t do something soon, our society will consist of the very rich and the very poor. “Pay what you can” gives the poor the same privileges and opportunities as the rich and at the same time, helps eliminate the rich getting richer off of the poor.
• It builds faith that God is our source, not our clients.

“Pay what you can” is not for every business, but for me it’s the right thing to do for now.
