I did 300 Live Videos to Overcome Fear of Rejection
Fear of rejection is one of the biggest reasons coaches and service providers leave money on the table. You avoid the follow-up. You hesitate on the pitch. You take the no personally.
In this episode of Sales Ready, I'm breaking down the 3 things I personally did and teach my clients to overcome the fear of rejection for good.
We cover:
- Rejection therapy and why risking a no is more powerful than seeking one
- How Toastmasters helped me get comfortable being evaluated and why that matters for sales
- The alternate benefit framework inspired by Never Split the Difference and the spin I put on it
Whether you're introverted or extroverted, your ability to sell has nothing to do with your personality. It has everything to do with your mindset around no.
This episode will shift that.

The Trust Recession: Why Hiding Your Coaching Prices is Costing You Sales
Are you still debating whether to list your high-ticket coaching prices on your website? In this episode, we tackle one of the most common questions coaches face today. The landscape has shifted, and we are currently navigating a "trust recession" where transparency is more important than ever.

We also explore a powerful pricing strategy from Alex Hormozi on how high-ticket prices can effectively anchor your mid-tier and group coaching offers.
Tune in to learn why putting your price out there is the best move for your coaching business and how it can save you time and headaches.
