How much do you avoid DM's or private messaging people in your online business?
For most of us, it's a LOT. We all have at least one situation where DM's went wrong and it's really scary to put ourselves back in that situation again.
But what if I told you that being fearful of DM's will keep a cap on your potential in your business? Not only will you miss out on a particular opportunity to build trust, you will also miss out on going deeper with the problems your ideal clients face.

In this episode, we are:
💣 breaking down what's really behind a DM (the fear of rejection) and how to overcome it

💣 how to not be seen as the slimy car salesman in the DM and have a real conversation with your potential clients

85: Telling People You Have A Business
Do you lead a double life: your life as a 9-5'er, mom, partner, etc. AND your life as an online entrepreneur?
The truth is, most of us don't know HOW to say what we do, or how we help, to people who don't really know the online business world.
And we think it's damaging our business - but I'm here to tell you that it's common to be fearful of the moment where you have to answer, "so what do you do?"
In this episode, we are chatting about:
🦄 whether you should spend time making a great "I help" statement,
🦄 how to handle the unsupportive/confused people in your life, and
🦄 how to move your business forward even in the midst of people who "don't get it."
