Is Your Fear of Selling Stopping You from Starting?
This post is for you.
I knew for months, let’s be real, years, that I wasn’t cut out for normal life.
I’d sit at my desk and think:
“Who decided I have to trade my time for money?”
Who decided that I only get five weeks off a year, in exchange for working forty-seven?
And even then, I had to ask permission to take them?
What a piss take, right?
But still, I kept going.
Day in, day out.
Trading my life for weekends.
And when the weekend came?
I was too burnt out to enjoy it, just sleeping my freedom away.
Then I Did What Most People Only Dream Of…
I saved and saved.
And finally, I quit.
I booked a one-way ticket to India.
Eight months later I came back tanned, loved-up, and… unsettled.
Everyone told me I should’ve felt grateful. I’d seen and done incredible things.
But I sat there, broke, back under fluorescent strip lights, wondering:
“If there’s so much out there… Why the fuck am I back in here?”
So I did it again.
Only this time, on a “working holiday.”
Work. Travel. Play.
Surely this was the freedom code.
Spoiler: It wasn’t.
Why Am I Telling You This?
You might be thinking, why the hell do I care about your life story?
Fair.
Maybe you don’t even want to travel. Or maybe you do.
But here’s the point:
I dreamt of something more, and still, I held myself back.
Not because I didn’t know what I wanted.
But because of two massive fears that kept looping in my mind:
1. I was scared I’d ruin it.
I thought: “If I turn my freedom into a job, will it still feel free?”
Could I really travel and work?
Would it take the joy out of it?
Would I still love creating if I had to create?
2. I was scared to sell.
This was the big one.
I wasn’t scared of building something…
I was scared of being seen doing it.
I didn’t want people to think I was just chasing money.
I didn’t want to “pitch” to my friends.
I definitely didn’t want to become that girl sliding into DMs like:
“Hey babe! You’d be perfect for my program 🫶”
I thought: if that’s what selling is, I want no part of it.
But here’s what I wish someone told me back then:
Sales Doesn’t Have to Feel Like Pressure
You don’t have to:
Become a full-time influencer
Build a brand overnight
Post every day until you burn out
Learn a 27-step “closing” script
Push or perform just to earn a few dollars
You don’t even need a huge audience.
Selling can feel good.
Honest. Clean. And dare I say easy.
But that shift?
It doesn’t happen by learning “how to pitch.”
It happens when you finally realise this:
Selling is service.
It’s not about chasing strangers.
It’s about calling in the ones who’ve been silently waiting for someone just like you. Waiting for what you’re offering.
If you’ve ever felt frozen by the idea of starting, not because you don’t have the vision, but because you’re scared of how you’ll sell it…
Let me show you what helped me shift.
No pressure. No scripts. No sales pitch.
Just a real masterclass about selling online in a way that feels:

Final Note:
You’re not scared of working hard.
You’ve done that your whole damn life.
You’re scared that if you finally say yes to your dreams…
You won’t know how to sell them.
But here’s what I’ll leave you with:
You don’t need to change who you are to make money online.
You just need to stop running from the version of you who’s already ready.
Let her lead.
Let it be simple.
Let it be safe.
Start with the masterclass.
I’ll meet you there.
