đźź© The quiet fear that shapes our biggest decisions

Jun 30, 2025 2:50 pm

Hi ,

People don’t want to feel stupid.


Not in life.

Not in business.

And definitely not when they’re making decisions.


We don’t walk around saying this out loud, of course.

But it shapes more of our behavior than we realize.


This truth became crystal clear to me when I made the decision not to practice medicine after graduating from medical school.


It was one of the most profound turning points in my life.

A decision that changed everything—for the better.

But it shocked people.


The most common reaction?


“But what about the 7.5 years you spent in school?”


To them, walking away meant I was wasting all that time, energy, and effort.

To them, it looked silly.

To them, it looked like failure.


But that wasn’t their concern for me talking.

It was their own fear of ever having to admit a change of course in their life.


See, we’d rather stay miserable than feel like we made a bad call.

We’d rather stay stuck than feel like something we invested in was for nothing.

We’d rather say no than risk looking foolish for saying yes.


And that brings me to business.


To your prospects.

To the people reading your posts, attending your webinars, joining your calls.


If they’ve only had one light touchpoint with you—saying no feels safe.

There’s no cost. No risk. No fear of looking silly.


But if they’ve followed you for weeks or months…

Watched your content…

Paid for a micro-offer…

Attended multiple calls…

Heard your frameworks…

And begun to see themselves in the world you’re building…


Then turning away starts to feel like they’re throwing all of that away.


They’d have to explain—to themselves and others—why they didn’t move forward.

And that doesn’t feel good.

Because we don’t like feeling like fools.


We can resist this tendency—or we can work with it.


This is one of the key psychological shifts I teach in my new course, Connection to Conversion.

It’s one of many powerful re-frames that help you approach business development like a human—and get better results from the connections you’re already making.


No hype. No pressure. No manipulation.

Just a practical path to go from attention → connection → conversion.


If you’re a fractional executive, consultant, or someone relying on relationships to grow your business, this was made for you.

Your clients are waiting.

They just need a little help feeling smart about saying yes.


Relentlessly dedicated to your profitability,
