SNM075: Taking Money and Getting Paid
The biggest mistake you can make is not believing in yourself.
Many people get started in business and assume that they won’t sell anything, so they never set up a way to accept money.
It’s a little psychological trigger that will block you from hitting the success you deserve.
Whether you are selling digital products, training or coaching, you need to set up you ability to take money in advance.

Suddenly they will pull back and you’ll lose the sale.
You try to save it by asking for a check, but who writes a check to a personal name?

They have to file completely different tax records for paying a person instead of a vendor.

Your lack of faith in yourself has made hiring you a risky decision.
They will simply move on to someone who does take themselves seriously.
Don’t let this happen to you…
