Stop Waiting for "Confidence." That's a "YOU" Thing. The Seller Doesn't CARE!

I'm hearing folks say: "I'll call sellers once I gain more CONFIDENCE!"

NO, you won't. That's not how "confidence" works. Trust me.

That's like me saying "I'll speak Spanish once I get more confidence speaking Spanish."

NOPE. You only GET confidence by DOING the thing. How ELSE could it work?

What you REALLY mean is this: "WAAA! I'm UNCOMFORTABLE talking to sellers!"

YES! TRUE!

So what? Who cares?

Not the seller. The seller has a PROBLEM. If they think you can help them, they're all EARS!

They don't care how YOU sound, how YOU look, or how YOU feel. They need HELP!

STOP making this about YOU!

Get OVER yourself.

SOLVE their PROBLEM!

Can I get an "amen?"
