• When it's not a problem versus when it is.

Let's Talk About Sales with Sheley Brien

Hosted by: James Patrick

We're going to be talking about sales today. I love talking about sales, it seems to make so many of our listeners get a little bit uncomfortable, in a good way. Sales is something that can frustrate a lot of you or leave you feeling overwhelmed, not knowing what you need to do. Oftentime, many of us will try to go down these rabbit holes and figure out "how to sell without selling," or create sales without having to build or nurture relationships.

But today, we are going to be talking about sales from a completely different perspective. Our amazing guest is Sheley Brien. She is a podcast host and a commercial general contractor business owner.

"Someone else's opinion of us or metric of success, is irrelevant to you."

IN THIS EPISODE

• The event that changed Sheley's trajectory of her life.

• Changing the perspective on what success is.

• The most important thing you can ever do.

• Why investing in yourself matters.

• Scheduling appointments with yourself.

• Redefining what self care looks like.

• Setting a standard for yourself.

• Showing up with the right energy.

• Doing more of what works.

• Assessing results and how to do it effectively.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome with Neelima Chittapu

Hosted by: James Patrick

At our 9th annual Get Published Live event last month, we had an attendee express that they wanted to make sure that they fit in with the group. Of course, the answer was yes absolutely you do.

It reminded me of the first time I went to a mastermind session and compared myself to every other person in the room. What I learned is that everyone else was thinking the same thing and it's a part of the imposter syndrome we place on ourselves.

This individual stood out to us because she has defied so many barriers and preconceived notions about what is possible and absolutely deserved to be in that room. She is the owner of TechFabric and her name is Neelima Chittapu.

"Believe in yourself, believe in your talent. That will take you places."

• How Neelima became the owner of her own tech company.

• The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people.

• Why you need to be more curious.

• What's the worst that can happen?

• Fighting the sexist stereotypes within male dominated industries.
