I’m Amy.

When I first stepped into entrepreneurship, I did what most service-based founders do. I worked hard, charged modestly, and hoped that impact would eventually equal income. But after months (okay, years) of helping clients transform their businesses and still feeling energetically drained and underpaid, I realized something had to shift.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t doing good work. It was that the way I was packaging and pricing that work didn’t reflect the depth of transformation I was actually delivering.

If that resonates, I want you to know: you’re not alone.

Maybe you’re attracting clients who don’t fully value your skills. Maybe you’re constantly working but not seeing the return. Maybe you’re stuck in low-paying offers that no longer align with who you are or who you’re becoming.

That’s exactly what this week’s episode of Business Origin Stories is all about: how to create high-ticket offers that reflect your value not just financially, but energetically and strategically, too.

Let’s talk about what really changes when you do this work.


The Right Offer Makes the Right People Lean In

There’s a misconception that building a high-ticket offer means slapping a higher price tag on what you’re already doing.

That’s not it.

High-ticket isn’t about charging more just because you can. It’s about creating an experience or container that’s aligned with your gifts, values, and leadership, and pricing it in a way that honors the transformation you’re delivering.

Whether it’s a $10K VIP Day, a $7K coaching container, or a $25K service retainer, high-ticket offers should feel like a full-body yes for both you and your client.


The 3-Part Framework I Share With Private Clients

When I work with clients on high-ticket offer strategy, we focus on three core areas:


1. Identity

Would you feel safe, seen, and stretched inside the offer you’re selling?

Identity is something you choose and practice. Every time you raise your rate, protect your process, or set a boundary, you’re reprogramming your self-image.

2. Messaging

Most people try to sell high-ticket with low-ticket language: “You’ll get 6 calls and a workbook.” But clients don’t buy deliverables. They’re drawn to outcomes they can envision for themselves. Speak to their power, their potential, and what becomes possible when they work with you.

I think about the stylist I hired in March. Her offer wasn’t just about clothes. She helped me embody the version of myself who walks into rooms with clarity and presence. Through styling, she created an experience rooted in confidence, alignment, and transformation. That’s high-ticket messaging done right.

3. Delivery

High-ticket delivery centers on intentionality. The strongest containers are designed to clarify, streamline, and create momentum. They offer exactly what moves the needle, nothing extra that dilutes the experience. It helps your client get results efficiently and powerfully.

And yes, sometimes it repels the wrong people. That’s part of the job. If you’re new to this space, holding that line can feel uncomfortable. But over time, it becomes second nature. Your subconscious starts to believe: “I am someone who protects my energy and respects my work.”


Choose Growth Over Comfort

Here’s the truth: you can keep negotiating your rates. You can keep filling your calendar with low-ticket services that leave you exhausted.

Or…

You can build a high-ticket offer that reflects your zone of genius and supports your life.

Especially if you’re in a season where capacity matters. Whether you’re caregiving, raising kids, or simply ready to stop hustling, this model can create the time, clarity, and margin you’ve been craving.

It’s not for everyone. But if you know it’s for you?

Let’s build something bold, beautiful, and deeply aligned with who you’re becoming.

Because when you raise your standards, you raise your story. And that changes everything.
