✔️ When you work with experts…

✔️ You get the right plan in place…

✔️You start focusing on what’s in your control… 

✔️You’ve prepared and executed…

Now you just need to go forward with confidence because when you’re going to do something hard, like an ultra marathon,????‍♂️ it’s okay to have some anxiety. 

I have anxieties before every sales call I do.???? Even after doing enterprise sales and teaching people sales for 25 years, I still feel a level of nerves or anxiety because I want the call to go well—I want to be able to help people.

???? I’ve prepared for that meeting and I know that I’ve built a system (a coaching program) that can help the right kind of startup founders. 

So going into a sales call, I would tell myself (or you can tell yourself), “be confident because you know you can help that person if they want the kind of help that you’re offering.”
