Part One of ‘Why HIGH ACHIEVERS Suck at SELLING (ourselves)... and WHAT to do about it’
When you begin to run your own business, it can be shocking to find that even if you've been a high achiever or an overachiever in everything you've ever done, regardless if you've always been the best at it, you still find yourself struggling sometimes and you choke. And you ask yourself questions like, why is it not working the way that I expect it to? The reality is that some business leaders don't take the time to peel the layers off and throw their money away by buying courses and programs, instead of focusing on the real issues.
“It's time to play a bigger game!” — Shameca Tankerson (21:28-21:30)
Many ridiculously talented entrepreneurs, especially women, charge their client's rates that don't match the massive transformation and value they bring to the table. Your belief system definitely affects how you show up in your business, mainly how you shop and handle sales situations. You're downplaying your greatness up to the point of thinking that you're not good enough. And then, it begins to show up in how you behave. Intellectually, you can command a higher price point, but when it comes down to it, you play smaller, and you continue offering the lower stuff because it makes you feel comfortable and safe. And so, you might have a hard time wrapping your mind around the fact that someone is going to be willing to pay you top dollar for what it is you're helping them to accomplish, achieve or do. It's because of your association with the concept of hard work equals success.

You got to look at how you're showing up in the marketplace. And here's what you have to realize, if you're not working with the right clients, they won't fully operate and walk your process all the way through. Thus, they will not get the best result that they're expecting. You might be thinking about money every single day. You might be showing up all the time. Live Streaming every day and still not getting the result. Here's the hard truth. If you're not making the exact amount of money that you want to make, the only reason for that, other than the need to shift your sales process, is your mindset. Without the right mindset, you will continually look for evidence that supports the fact that you can't have it.
