For some reason there’s a cultural archetype of sales people that they are in some way sleazy, or duplicitous and manipulative. That in order to sell something you need to trick people into buying it. And it’s even worse if you’re selling a service in the wellness industry.

Today I’d like to explore some of the reasons why women in the fitness and wellness space have such a hard time marketing and promoting themselves and how to reframe your thinking and break out of the “shame” of self promotion to step into the spotlight.

Mindset madness: Money, energy and self sabotage - How your money beliefs can sabotage your success before you even get started. Pricing your offerings so that people want to pay you!

Money mindset is the subconscious saboteur of solopreneurs everywhere. It doesn’t matter how passionate you are about what you have to offer, how good you are at what you do, or how incredible your product is. If you can’t ask for money in exchange for it you’re going to struggle as a business.

Today's episode is about paying attention to what you are soaking in from the people around you and how to use mastermind communities to leverage knowledge, support and success without getting sucked down the rabbit holes of fear and tech distraction.

The biggest question entrepreneurs face is what is it that I’m going to offer and who am I offering it to? You can’t know that until you really know who you are and what you stand for.

Mindset madness!

I think any time you attach the word business to something it kind of sucks the joy out of it. It takes a strong mind to stick with anything after the shine wears off. A big part of success is getting out of your own head and out of your own way. Mindset can make or break you.

That's what this next series of episodes is going to address. Think of the next 6 weeks as a masterclass on mindset madness. We’re going to be touching on 5 different mindset issues that transcend pretty much every business niche but seem especially sticky for female entrepreneurs especially in the wellness space. I’ll share some of my own experience with my business demons: failure, distractions, procrastination, perfectionism, money and the rabbit holes of technology.
