Stop apologizing for selling. Stop pleasing people! This past year I realized I had a lot of breakthroughs I needed to experience, specifically with my mindset toward my own business. The moment I was able to name a really precise belief aloud (which I’m still working on), it made a world of difference in my bank account and confidence in my offering. Absolute transparency here, I had an unhealthy obsession with my client results and never truly believed in my offers. In today's episode, I’ll be sharing all about how I’ve intentionally worked on my thought creation. Bonus, we’ll have a practical session where I show you how I get chosen to ask my questions every damn time in a crowd and get coached live without the awkwardness attached to that feeling.   Mentioned in this episode:  Coaching with Stacey Boehman Life Coach School with Brooke Castillo   Thanks for tuning into the Get Paid Podcast!
