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! I read a great word in a book that I really identified with. The author was talking about how when they’re stressed about putting content out, they tend to “procrasti-tinker” with tools instead of finishing up the project. Man. I’ve been there… Creating content is HARD! And it feels like something in our lizard brain fights us every step of the way. That’s why learning from people who have fought off the dilly-dallying dinos and are content-creation machines is essential. That’s...

Howdy Reader! First of all, during this season of egg nog imbibing, Christmas cookie baking, last-minute present panicking, and fruitcake regifting, I want to pause and say thank you! Thank you for being a part of this newsletter community. One of the best gifts is opening my computer the day after an email goes out and getting a chance to respond to people who have replied to the newsletter. Thank you for taking the time to chat. It means a lot. Now, on to some cool new tools I had a chance...

Howdy Reader! AI as a relationship coach? Say what? Most of us have used AI in some form or another now. Either by having it summarize YouTube videos, create captions for our content, or even using ChatGPT to write a letter to Grandma (Please, no more hand-knitted sweaters this year! They’re itchy!) But help with relationships? I know what you’re saying… “Listen Jeff, I’m not some 19 year dude who lives in his mom’s basement. I don’t need a robot girlfriend.” I know, I know. I thought the...
