The Empowered Creatives

Selling with Confidence (feat. Annie P. Ruggles)

Listen Later

Annie P. Ruggles (former musical theater actor, founder of the Non-Sleazy Sales Academy and host of the Too Legitimate to Quit podcast) has a PSA for you this week:

"If you want to love selling, fall in love with the art of solving problems and solving problems with your art."


Join myself and my incredible sales coach, Annie, as we discuss:

  • the tortured artist mentality and why it's making you question your ability versus honing your craft
  • letting go of resentment for past "failures"
  • how every artist is an entrepreneur
  • why preciousness is holding you back from making money
  • how to price your work
  • why we creatives fall into the trap of underselling our work...or worse, not selling at all



    • Your One Thing this Week

    Get out there and charge. Set yourself the goal to get one yes. In the words of Annie P. Ruggles, nothing makes you feel more legitimate. If you’re stuck on ideas on how to put yourself out there and what yes to go after, feel free to send me a message on Instagram.
