🦾 Your Competition Isn't Better (They're Just Not Afraid)

Hey Insider, That rep who just stole your biggest account? They're not smarter, more talented, or better connected. They just weren't afraid of hearing "no."

Let me tell you about my worst sales call ever. Picture it: Major prospect, perfect fit, months of nurturing. I had every reason to be confident. Instead, I spent 40 minutes dancing around the real conversation, terrified of pushing too hard.

Why? Because I had enough "good" clients. I was hitting "decent" numbers. I was, in a word, comfortable.

The Fear Audit

Let's get uncomfortably honest about what's really holding you back:

• Skipping the tough conversation? That's fear.

• Not raising prices? Fear.

• Avoiding bigger prospects? Fear.

• "Taking it slow" with that workout program? Fear.

• Playing it safe with your pipeline? Fear.

The Success Paradox

Here's the twisted truth: The more success you have, the more you have to lose. And that's when the real paralysis sets in.

Think about it:

• Good pipeline? Play it safe.

• Decent shape? Don't push too hard.

• Stable clients? Don't rock the boat.

• Comfortable income? Stay in your lane.

The Hidden Cost of Safety

While you're playing it safe:

• Hungry competitors are calling your clients

• Focused performers are getting stronger

• Determined rivals are innovating

• Fearless upstarts are taking risks
