Unsure to Unstoppable with James Dunn

Shifting the 'Sales are Slimy' Self-Sabotage


Listen Later

If you've ever said, "I hate sales," this episode is for you.

James cracks open the deep emotional baggage so many of us carry around selling. He shares personal stories—from falling for a guilt-heavy vacuum pitch to years of undercharging in his own business—and reveals the real reason selling can feel slimy.

But it’s not because sales are bad. It’s because of the stories we’ve been told (and the ones we keep telling ourselves).

This episode helps you reframe sales, not as manipulation, but as an act of service—and shows how to show up ethically and powerfully for the people who need you most.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why the idea of sales used to make James feel physically uncomfortable
  • The story of a vacuum salesman who triggered a deep emotional guilt response
  • How to stop viewing sales as coercion and start seeing it as service
  • The mindset shift that helped James start charging what he’s worth
  • Why holding back your offer is actually selfish

If you're building a business but constantly holding yourself back from selling, this episode might just be the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.
