What to do When You Have a Fear of Asking to be Paid

It's Not About The Money

In this episode on the ‘It’s Not About the Money' podcast (formerly 'In Her Financial Shoes’), I explore the fear of asking to be paid and its impact on financial success. I share stories of clients who have overcome this fear and achieved significant financial results.

I emphasise that selling is not about the individual but about helping clients see the certainty in their offers. I discuss the fear of rejection and judgement and encourage you to shift your mindset around the word 'no.' I also highlight the importance of creating certainty in sales and provide tips for effective sales conversations.
