Episode notes
Saying Your Price Broke A Money Schema
- Omar shared a money-schema story where past low-pay experiences made him avoid stating prices.
- He overcame it by naming his price, staying quiet, and closed high-value deals worth six figures.
Sell As Service, Detach From Outcomes
- Treat sales as service not taking, and detach from outcomes so a 'no' becomes 'not yet'.
- Practice stating your price and moving on when clients decline to avoid shrinking your worth.
Say Yes To Growth Exposure
- Level up by saying yes to tasks you don't yet know how to do and sit with the discomfort.
- High-pressure exposure accelerates growth more than safe practice or self-talk.
