Believe me when I say that I immediately slammed my laptop shut the moment I heard him say $25,000…Several years back, James Wedmore (my now friend and mentor) was about to open cart for one of his masterminds. JD (my husband and business partner) and I were trying to guess the price before he mentioned it. “$5,000?”… “No way, $10,000?”… whatever it was, we knew it wasn’t going to be cheap.So, why did hearing him say that the price was $25,000 make me slam my computer shut?It’s because even considering paying that amount of money made my mind automatically go to feelings of fear, doubt, and uncertainty… emotions that I didn’t want to feel.But here’s the kicker, slamming my computer shut wasn’t a no.
