Don't be afraid to SELL yourself!
Aug 30, 2021 5:41 pm
You already are anyway.
Every person you meet, meeting you have, piece of work you create, presentation you make, job interview you show up to... you are SELLING yourself.
And not enough people realize this.
Whether you like it or not, in every given moment, you are in sales.
Literally as a kid you had to try and sell your parents into letting you stay up later, getting the gift you wanted for the holidays, buying the snacks at the store.
Sales is a major part of our lives.
So why not be good at it?!?
One of the reasons I got into the social media space was to learn how to story tell and sell myself in an authentic and valuable way.
I wanted to connect with other people who found value and practical steps from my writing/pictures/video/podcast content.
And if you are reading this, I hope that you are one of those people!
I know what it is like not to "feel" like you are able to sell.
Hell, one of my major goals this year was to put out my own products to sell. It literally took me until August to do it lol. So I empathize with you!!!
Why did it take me this long?
I am human too ya know. Deep down I have an ego that wants to be liked. An ego that fears criticism. An ego that would rather stay in its comfort zone.
I have been on a path of destroying my bad ego though, and leaning on my good one instead. The ego to want to help the world and the people on it.
So here is a fact...
the simple PDF product that I put together can truly help anyone who is looking to improve their presence on social media.
And I am here to tell you if that is your goal, GREAT!!! Don't fall into the trap of other people who put you down for wanting an audience, followers, or people who you ultimately are SERVING solutions to.

if this email was a test, the answer is SERVE > sell.
When you focus on SERVING, rather than selling...selling yourself gets easier. ;)
How can you focus on helping other people this week and serving them solutions that will help them within their own lives?!?
And for a boost of confidence for you to do so, check this out....
I made $60 so far from my $10 pdf.
It is not much, but it is something that I feel good about, and I know it will help the people that purchased it.
And maybe it could help you, or you can start your Monday off knowing you helped me.
Purchase if...
- If you want to improve your social media / content capabilities
- If I have ever provided you any value through these emails or any other piece of content. Consider this a small donation to help me keep going
- If you know someone who may benefit from it, please buy and give to them, or send them to it.
And if you don't I still love you.
The next product I am looking to put together is within the health space. So many people, including myself, have had life long issues with personal health. And I have spent thousands of $$$ on different tests/technologies to help me have a better understanding of the human body. Now it is time for me to transfer that knowledge, and serve those who may be in need.
If you have any other ideas for me, LET ME KNOW!!! Lets collaborate!!!
Thank you so much for following along my journey, it means more than you will ever know. SERIOUSLY!
GO SELL YOURSELF AND SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY THIS WEEK!!!

p.s. today I am grateful for all my friends and family who have believed in me over the years. There has been a lot of anxiety, stress, and doubts year over year...but you all give me the strength to keep going. I think about all of you way more than I tell you.
