ANECDOTE

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.
ADVICE

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.
ADVICE

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.
