My journey with numbers began at a young age with a keen interest in mathematics that lasted throughout school. Upon leaving school, I pursued my ambition of becoming an accountant by completing a degree in Accounting and Finance at university. However after a 6 week internship at a large accountancy firm, I failed to see myself doing the job long term. Unexpectedly, I found myself drawn into the

world of procurement, where over a 14 year period I managed contracts worth tens of millions of pounds within a large, multi-billion-pound corporation. During this time I expanded upon my financial management skills. For the past seven years, I have been successfully building a thriving Children's Activity Business. Using my passion for numbers and spreadsheets, I have successfully transformed my business from a hobby on the side into a Full Time Children's Activity Business. But my journey did not end there. Fuelled by a desire to helps others in the industry, I founded Profitable Play - a venture dedicated to guiding fellow Children's Activity Business owners on their journey to unlocking financial success. One of the drivers for me leaving the corporate world was so that I could spend more time with my partner and my two amazing children, alongside two lively labradors. We can often be found exploring the outdoors and making memories as a family.

Did you start up your own business to have more flexibility but then ended up working more hours for less money?

It doesn't have to be like that. As self employed business owners we all too often don't charge enough to cover all of our costs and our time.

If you feel like you are not earning enough, and would like to check out if your pricing could be a factor, then comment PRICING below to take my free 2 minute 'Is You Pricing Working For You?' Quiz.

If you're self employed and have ever considered giving it all up to get a job, then you are not alone.

I have felt like this a few times throughout my 9 years of being self employed (who am I kidding - a lot of times). And most of the time it was because I was undercharging, doing lots of work for nothing, then resenting my business.

If you have ever felt like this and would like to check out if your pricing could be a factor, then comment PRICING below to take my free 2 minute 'Is You Pricing Working For You?' Quiz.

Did you base your prices on what others were charging?

Every business is different, and someone else's prices might be based on an entirely different set of circumstances than yours.

Plus, what if that other business based their prices on what someone else was charging... 10 years ago!

It's so important to sense check your pricing and make sure it is covering all of your costs.

If you're not sure where to start, grab a copy of my 'Are you Undercharging' checklist.

Are you still using those prices that you guessed when you started?

Its OK to take an estimated guess when you first start your business but if you stick with those prices too long, that's the problem.

Once you know your costs and know how much time you spend on your business then you can adjust your pricing accordingly.

Undercharging usually isn’t a confidence issue.
It’s a pricing issue.

If you haven’t properly factored in your time, your costs, and what the business actually needs to earn, pricing decisions will always feel uncomfortable.

That’s exactly what I’m covering in my free pricing masterclass - how to work pricing out properly so it stops feeling like guesswork.

“I found Elaine’s course really helpful in taking the fear out of looking at finances…”

This feedback is from a newer business owner and perfectly sums up why I focus on practical tools and clear processes when it comes to pricing and profit.

That’s the same approach I’ll be walking through in my free pricing masterclass next week.

I’m running a free pricing masterclass for self-employed business owners who want to stop guessing what to charge.

Most people are confident delivering their service, but pricing feels uncomfortable because the numbers behind it haven’t been worked out properly - time, costs, and income expectations all get blurred.

In this session, I’ll walk through:
• how to factor in your time properly
• what costs should be included
• how to sense-check whether your pricing works
• how to make pricing decisions based on numbers, not guesswork

This is for self-employed business owners who want a practical, straightforward approach to pricing.

You won’t be asked to share figures, and you don’t need perfect records - rough figures are absolutely fine.

Free to attend. Replay included.
