    Ep 504: Self-Doubt Selling Versus Self-Trust Selling

    Tune in to learn the difference between selling from a place of self-doubt and selling from a place of self-trust and why this is such an important shift for perfectionist entrepreneurs to make. If you’ve been having a hard time making sales even though you’re posting pretty consistently, you’ve had happy customers and you’re working really hard on your business - this episode is for you. I also talk about why perfectionists feel so much resistance around getting paid well to do work that is easy or enjoyable for them, why money mindset work is essential if you want to make more sales and what perfectionists need to take into account when improving their money mindset.

    Work with me privately to make more sales in an aligned, self-trusting way

    I’m excited to announce that you can work with me privately to make more sales in 2025 in an aligned, self-trusting way! Tune in to the episode to hear how we can work together, what Self-Trust Selling is (and isn’t), and more. And to find out more about my three month 1:1 coaching program and apply today visit: samlaurabrown.com/coaching Are you only making sales sporadically, even though… ✔ You’re posting pretty consistently, telling people about what you do and putting yourself out there a lot more than you used to be? ✔ You’re smart, you genuinely want to help people and you’ve invested in sales and marketing programs to learn the right strategies? ✔ You get lots of great feedback from your clients and customers and you’re pretty good at what you do (despite a healthy dose of imposter syndrome that tries to tell you otherwise). It’s not your fault, it’s your Perfectionism Handbrake. Your Perfectionism Handbrake isn’t stopping you from taking action anymore. But it is stopping you from making as many sales as you could be. Your sales have plateaued and now you’re ready for what’s next.  Self-Trust Selling is the answer. Self-Trust Selling combines the power of mindset work and sales strategy so that you can make more sales in 2025 in an aligned, self-trusting way. When you’re Self-Trust Selling you will have your own unique Self-Trust Sales Strategy that’s aligned with your Hidden Sales Strengths, your values and your business model so that selling feels easy and effortless - and brings in more sales than ever before. Self-Trust Selling is how I built my $2M coaching business without having to do anything that felt icky or that I didn’t want to do.  And how my clients have made more sales and broken through one revenue plateau after the next. After years of refining the Self-Trust Selling Process, the time has come to finally teach it. If you feel like the time you’re spending working on your business isn’t paying off, this is for you. And I’m not just going to tell you to ‘trust yourself more’ or give you the specific strategy that worked for me and my business. I’m going to personally guide and support you through a simple step-by-step process that will have you releasing your Perfectionism Handbrake and creating your very own Self-Trust Sales Strategy so you can get out of your own way with selling.  You will get more sales notifications on your phone, see more money in your bank account and get thank you emails from happy customers with a work schedule that works for you.

    Ep 503: Being All-In On Selling Even When You're Tired (Part 2: Launch Debrief + Revenue Breakdown)

    Launching has a way of bringing up perfectionism - so I’m sharing a behind the scenes look at the most recent PGSD launch and I’m holding nothing back. This is the second part in a two part series that will help normalise the highs and lows of launching (regardless of what kind of business you have). It gives you a look at the perfectionism that often comes up with selling and what I personally do to overcome that perfectionism and be showing up fully. In this episode I talk about some incredibly important concepts that are universal to all kinds of entrepreneurs, including being all-in on selling, how to keep going and showing up fully (even when you’re tired and the results aren’t where you want them to be). Tune in to listen to my assessment of this launch and my thinking process as I review it. Plus I share all of the numbers (like our sign up numbers, revenue and whether we hit our goal) and behind the scenes insights so you can get out of your own way. Because releasing your perfectionism handbrake is essential when it comes to building your business, whether you have a coaching business like me or not. I talk through the launch plan and strategy, the self-coaching I’m doing, my thoughts in real-time, and more! Find the full episode transcript and show notes at samlaurabrown.com/episode503.

    Ep 501: Doing Bad Work So You Can Get Good

    Today, I want to make a case for doing bad work. As a perfectionist, I know this is not something you want to do. You want to do only your best work and have it reflect what you are capable of. But if you aren't willing to do bad work, you will never get good.  It’s essential to understand this concept as a perfectionist entrepreneur. I explain the concept in this episode, including sharing some examples from my own experiences with my business. I also discuss what happens when you do bad work and how you can support yourself in learning this new approach. If you find you’re having a hard time starting and finishing things, this episode is for you. Find the full episode transcript and show notes at samlaurabrown.com/episode501.

    In today’s episode, I want to share with you a tool that I have used to help me avoid burning out. I haven't burned out since 2019 and this tool has been a massive help. Not only does it support you to stop burning out, but it also helps you create the habits you want to have in your personal life and your business. If you’re afraid of burning out (and that fear is stopping you from showing up for your business fully), this episode is for you.

    Ep 499: Are You Expecting Too Much From Your Business?

    In today’s episode, I want to share a mistake I see a lot of perfectionists make in business (including myself). I've actually been coaching on this a lot inside my program, Perfectionists Getting Shit Done, and I want to bring it to your awareness, because if you are making this mistake then it's going to be hard to grow the business the way you want to. And it's going to be hard to feel as fulfilled and satisfied as you want to, as a human being. Tune in to hear me talk about this common mistake, so that you can begin addressing it and change your experience in your business.

    Ep 498: How I Grew My Podcast To 2 Million Downloads Without Following The Rules (best of the podcast)

    I hadn’t thought to do an episode on how I built my podcast until my friend Alexander James (who I interviewed in Episode 340) started asking for the details. So I thought that I’d record an episode on how I built my podcast to 2 million downloads without following industry best practices. This episode is about podcasting AND it’s about how you can be successful even when you’re not doing things the same way as everyone else in your industry - no matter what you’re working on. If you feel called to do things your way, this one’s for you. Find the full episode transcript and show notes at samlaurabrown.com/episode498.
