Why Selling Your Own Stuff is SO Hard (And How to Fix It)


Howdy Reader!

Selling stinks.

When I worked for other people, I had no problem selling our services.

I love recommending great products and services from brands and influencers that I know, like, and trust.

So why is it so hard to actually sell our OWN products and services?

Listen, I’ve heard all the sales tropes like, “you sell the sizzle, not the steak.” Or, “go after the low-hanging fruit.” And even “this is a win-win situation for both of us!”

Now, if I had a tree with low-hanging sizzling steaks, THAT would be a win-win. I’d never leave the yard!

Seriously though, selling is hard and not something that comes naturally to a lot of people. That’s why I’m really excited to shine the spotlight on selling on today’s show.

I was blown away when I saw Conor Brown speak on the art of selling at Momentum this past year. (Don’t tell him that; I’d never hear the end of it.)

He helped everyone who listened become more confident in selling their products and services, and I know he can help you, too.

So join us today at 10 am central and ask your questions on selling that you’ve always been afraid to ask.

See ya there,

Howdy Reader! Ever feel like your podcast is running you instead of the other way around?

We’re talking with Darrell Darnell, founder of Pro Podcast Solutions, who’s been helping creators build professional, long-lasting podcasts since 2013.

Howdy Reader! I’ve got my head down building some new trainings I’m excited to share soon. But first, two tools in my current workflow that are saving me serious time and might help you, too. Magai: Your AI control centerMost of my speaking gigs this year have been about AI, and Magai comes up in almost every talk. If you’re unsure where to start, this is the one. Access multiple AI models in one place: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Leonardo, DALL·E, Meta AI, Mistral, Stable Diffusion,...

Howdy Reader! Remember when “getting found” meant tweaking a few keywords and waiting for Google to do its thing? Yeah… that world’s gone. It’s going the way of Napster, floppy disks, and Saturday morning cartoons (honestly, I’m still upset about that one!) AI has completely changed how people find information. Whether it’s ChatGPT giving direct answers, TikTok acting like a new search engine, or Perplexity surfacing “the best answer,” discoverability now depends on how AI interprets your...
