I'd like to share another story, about a woman who learned to communicate her value and _____________________________________________. She runs a successful web development company and employs several people. When she first started her firm and for several years thereafter, she would say, "I have a little web design company. " She'd actually use those words with clients."I have a little web design company." In this and in many other small ways, she was diminishing her company ____________________________________________________________, and diminishing herself.

I'd like to share another story, about a woman who learned to communicate her value and found her own voice. She runs a successful web development company and employs several people.
我想和你们分享另外一个故事，关于一个女人学会传达自我价值，并找到自己说话方式的故事。她经营着一家成功的网站开发公司，雇佣了几个员工。
run a company 经营一家公司 employ several people 雇佣了几个员工
When she first started her firm and for several years thereafter, she would say, "I have a little web design company. "She'd actually use those words with clients."I have a little web design company."
在她公司起步的初期以及之后的几年，她会说：我拥有一家小小的网站设计公司。他甚至对客户也这样说，我拥有一家小小的网站设计公司。
thereafter /ˌðerˈæftər/ adv.之后;此后;以后
In this and in many other small ways, she was diminishing her company in the eyes of prospects and clients, and diminishing herself. It was really impacting her ability to earn what she was worth.
通过这样以及其他一些不起眼的方法，在潜在客户和她客户的眼中，公司的价值被轻视了，她也被轻视了。这确实影响了她让自己物有所值的能力。
diminish /dɪˈmɪnɪʃ/ v.减少;(使)减弱，缩减;降低;贬低;贬损;轻视 in the eyes of prospects and clients 在潜在客户和客户的眼中 impacting her ability 影响她的能力
I believe her language and her style communicated that she didn't believe she had much value to offer. In her own words, she was practically giving her services away. And so she began her journey to take responsibility for communicating value to clients and changing her message.
我认为她的语言和风格传达的是她不相信自己有如此高的价值。用她的话说，她简直在赠送服务。于是她开始了一段旅程开始承担向客户传递价值的责任，并且开始改变她所传达的信息。
In her own words 用她自己的话说 practically /ˈpræktɪkli/ adv. 几乎;差不多;很接近;实事求是地;实际地
