I remember the early, early days of being self-employed (over 22 years ago!) and being absolutely terrified of selling conversations. Not only did the fear of rejection feel deeply personal, but the fear of my body failing me (due to what I now understand is HSP overwhelm) and the shame this would cause was crippling.
It makes you wonder, how on earth did I get from there to here - the consistent steward of a 7-figure, passion-based business that has made an immensely positive difference in my life and for the lives of countless other HSPs in business and leadership.
Well, I recently shared this full story with HSP members of the Business Miracles community, and the part that's important to share here is that every step of the way, I would ask myself a key question, which feels worse? For example, which feels worse: my terror of having a selling conversation or giving up and going back to being a public high school teacher?
I just kept (and still do) asking myself that key question and using that barometer to help steer me baby-step by baby-step. No grand business plan that would save me from never having my feelings, but instead just baby-step by baby-step. And with the right-aligned, personal mentor support in my corner, too, of course.
