Life Sized Voices Featuring Vanessa Ugatti

Hey, Meerab here!

What if getting paid more had less to do with finding more clients and more to do with recognizing the value of the work you already do?

That is the question Vanessa Ugatti explores in How to Get Paid Your True Worth: Ethically, Without Selling Your Soul (While Keeping Clients Happy!)

Written for professional services firms and individuals, the book tackles the uncomfortable conversations many professionals avoid: pricing, fees, boundaries, value, and getting paid properly. Vanessa combines practical advice with real client stories to show that earning more does not have to mean working more or compromising your values.

At the heart of the book is Vanessa’s True Worth Methodology, which connects pricing and sales with confidence, client relationships, and wellbeing.

Because knowing your worth is one thing.

Getting paid for it is another.

5 Reasons You Should Read This Book

3. It Makes Difficult Fee Conversations Easier
Many professionals know they should charge more but struggle to say the number with confidence. The book offers practical ways to change your language, strengthen your confidence, and become more comfortable discussing fees.

4. It Shows That More Money Does Not Have to Mean More Stress
Vanessa’s approach connects financial success with wellbeing. Her True Worth Methodology is designed to help professionals earn appropriately without sacrificing their health, family, or free time.

About the Book

How to Get Paid Your True Worth is a practical guide for professionals who want to charge fairly, increase revenue, improve client relationships, and create a healthier way of working.

Vanessa’s True Worth Methodology brings together principles including Take Charge, Raise Revenue, Understand Value, Eliminate Pain in the A$$ Clients, Woo With Worth, Optimistic Outlook, and Receive Remuneration, alongside time to work on your business and healthy living.

Through practical advice and real client stories, Vanessa shows what can happen when professionals stop undervaluing themselves and start taking control of their pricing and client relationships.

One client, for example, generated an additional £75,000 a year after learning to set boundaries and charge appropriately, without having to work harder.

This book is not about charging more for the sake of charging more.

It is about getting paid fairly for the value you already create.

The Life Sized Perspective

At Life Sized Publishing, we believe the right book can change not only what you know, but how you approach your work.

Vanessa’s message is especially powerful because it connects money with something deeper: self-worth, confidence, boundaries, and well-being.

You do not have to choose between serving your clients well and valuing yourself properly.

You can do both.

That is why we are proud to bring How to Get Paid Your True Worth into the world.
