The people I attract in my business span a wide range of services. You may coach business leaders to a more people-centered vision, or help parents create more loving relationships with their kids, or offer holistic health solutions to cancer survivors, or lead creative women to more fulfilling lives, or you may have some other calling altogether.

But what’s true for each of you is that in your heart of hearts, you know you’re here on this planet to impact other people’s lives with your special brand of transformation.

However, along with that big, loving heart and that big, inspired vision usually comes an aversion to selling. Most of us are never taught how to integrate service with sales.

So the vision doesn’t get played out fully – and the heart yearns for more.

It’s time to come to terms with the apparent contradiction between selling and being of service. Because it isn’t real. It’s just a little voice in your head that tells you to stay small and safe.

Here’s what IS true:

Your gifts are wasted if people are walking away from your selling conversations without hiring you because it means they’re walking away with a problem you could have helped them solve.

Here’s what else is true:

YOU get to decide whether you’re going to listen to that little voice of doubt and fear. Or if you’re going to accept that the Universe knew what it was doing when it entrusted you with your particular passion and gifts.

Those gifts are there to be shared. That can’t happen to the extent you dream of until you learn, once and for all, how to blend selling with integrity.

Because if you’re not selling, you’re not transforming lives.
