She Reset Her Speaking Fee From $10K to $25K in a Single Conversation: Victoria King Meyer on Worth, Wealth and Why Talking About Money Changes Everything

What happens when someone who knows your work tells you that you are worth more than you are asking for? If you are Victoria King Meyer, you listen. And then you go into a negotiation that same day and ask for it. In this episode of Manifest, Manage and Multiply Money, Audrey Faust sits down with Victoria King Meyer, former Fortune 500 executive turned entrepreneur, keynote speaker, strategic advisor, and founder of Progressio Global. Victoria spent 25 years inside big corporate chemical companies before launching her consulting business in 2018. Today she also hosts The Chemical Show podcast, runs the Chemical Summit, and is launching a podcast network centered in trade media for the chemical industry. Victoria is refreshingly honest about the gap between how polished things look on the outside and what is actually happening underneath. She describes herself as a swan on the lake, calm and beautiful on top and paddling madly underneath. And in this conversation she pulls back the curtain on all of it. The pricing conversation that reset her speaking fee from $10K to $25K in a single mastermind discussion. The money beliefs she carried from corporate into entrepreneurship and had to unlearn. Why she is still a little financially phobic even today and what she does about it. And why if we do not talk about money it holds a tremendous amount of power over us. She also asks a question in this episode that stopped me cold. Why is it that other people can see our worth so clearly while we struggle to see it in ourselves? If you have ever undercharged, underasked, or underestimated what the market would actually pay for what you do, this conversation is going to land differently than anything you have heard before. She also shares one of the most practical pieces of advice on monetizing a podcast that Audrey had never heard before and that stopped her cold mid-conversation. **Chapters** 00:56 — Introduction to Victoria King Meyer and Progressio Global 02:51 — Why Victoria calls her podcast a true business and what that means 03:36 — How Victoria's money mindset has evolved since leaving corporate 06:48 — Why talking about money removes its power over us 09:13 — The mastermind conversation that reset her speaking fee from $10K to $25K 10:18 — What went through her mind when her colleague said she was worth more 14:00 — The swan on the lake: looking polished while paddling madly underneath 18:00 — Real estate investing and why money is meant to be used not just saved 21:00 — How to research what the market is actually paying for what you do 24:32 — Was Victoria ever financially phobic and what she does about it today 27:23 — The number is just information and why we spiral without even knowing 29:17 — Where to find Victoria and how to connect 29:40 — Message to women on the edge of their next level: shoot past your goal **In This Episode You'll Learn:** - Why talking about money openly removes the power it holds over you - How a single mastermind conversation reset Victoria's speaking fee by 150% in one day - Why is it that other people can see our worth so clearly while we struggle to see it in ourselves - What the swan on the lake really looks like from the inside of a multi-six figure business - Why money is meant to be used not just saved and how real estate investing changed Victoria's relationship with wealth - How to research what the market is actually paying for your services using publicly available information - Why even seasoned entrepreneurs and executives still have an element of financial phobia - What Victoria does every week to stay on top of her numbers even when she does not want to look - Why shooting past your goal is always better than crawling your way forward - How Victoria turned a podcast into a true business line generating six figures and what it took to get there **Connect with Victoria King Meyer** - LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/victoria-king-meyer - Instagram: instagram.com/victoriakingmeyer - Website: thechemicalshow.com # Where Is All My Money Going?
