Here’s what I know from having worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs: the success you want cannot coexist with these beliefs. No successful entrepreneur believes that selling is sleazy or asking for money is greedy. This episode will show you what they believe instead.

This is Part 2 of our Feminist Sales Series. Last week, we unpacked why women have such a complicated relationship with selling. Today we’re going to unpack some of the most common misconceptions around sales and marketing, including 8 specific thoughts that are keeping you stuck.

These are the most common beliefs I see costing entrepreneurs money every single day…and some of them will surprise you! 

Click play to learn:

• The hidden cost of beliefs like “selling is sleazy” or “I don’t have the personality for sales”
• What really makes a successful salesperson—and why it has nothing to do with extroversion or confidence
• Why posting consistent content isn’t the strategy you think it is
• The 2-second mindset shift so you never have to “ask for money” again
• Why “the right people will find me” is the most seductive (and expensive) myth out there 
• How to stop giving away your power to outside circumstances like AI, the economy, and market changes
