Stop Apologizing For Making a Profit
“we say want to create a big impact, but we don’t want to make the money. we can’t have it both ways.”
At Mint Worthy Co., we believe profit isn't something to whisper about—it’s something to celebrate. In her no-nonsense chat with Bruce Sellery on Moolala: Money Made Simpleologizing-for-making-a-profit/, Vanessa Bowen, Mint Worthy’s founder, tackles the shame many women entrepreneurs feel around charging what their work is truly worth—and it's time to stop apologizing and own it.
The Problem: Profit Phobia
So many women downplay their worth—undercharging, minimizing, even apologizing when they make money. Vanessa calls it out: we don’t need more sugarcoating. This episode is a raw wake-up call to stop treating profit like a guilty secret.
Profit Is Not a Dirty Word
Vanessa’s message is crystal clear: Profit is Power. It funds dreams, fuels growth, and cements your worth. When pricing for profit you build a business that sustains you, not one that begs you to hustle harder, faster, forever.
Why This Matters to You
Built-in boundaries: Pricing with profit in mind sets clear standards—for your services, your clients, and your life.
Sustainable growth: Profit is the foundation that lets your business weather storms and scale smoothly.
Worth amplification: Profitable pricing isn’t about greed—it’s about respect. Respect for your craft, your effort, and your future.
Your Permission Slip: Make Profit Proud
Check your prices—are they “too low,” “fair,” or truly reflective of your worth?
Own your profit—no more umms, ahhs, or “I’m so sorry” when you earn more.
Talk about money—open the conversation, normalize profit, and invite others to do the same.
