#371: Why The Most Talented Freelancers Sabotage Their Own Progress
If you’re great at what you do…
If people look up to you, hire you, refer you…
And you’re still struggling with client acquisition…
You know what you SHOULD be doing.
So what’s holding you back?
Sometimes, after being so good at what you do for so long, the idea of starting something you might not be great at right away can feel uncomfortable.
We forget what it’s like to be a newbie, making mistakes.
And now? That fear of sucking again is keeping you stuck.
I get it… “marketing” can feel like a wild west with zero rhyme or reason.
Paid ads? I could end up donating money to Zuck for nothing.
Building funnels and automations? Seems complicated.
So it’s easier to stick with what you know.
Even if it’s not working like it used to.
How much is that inaction costing you? How much longer can you afford to NOT fix this?
But guess what… The people who grow the fastest are the ones willing to look dumb for a while. Willing to dare to suck.
This week’s episode is all about that feeling (and why being okay with sucking again is often the first step toward real growth.)
