Reluctance to promote yourself holds you back from achieving personal fulfillment and financial success. When you hesitate to broadcast your accomplishments and capabilities, your ideal clients never get a chance to find out what you can do for them. In this road-tested course, you will learn to overcome fear, resistance, and the inner critic, so you can promote yourself and your business confidently!
Over the past two decades, this powerful, insightful course has been taken by hundreds of self-employed professionals like you. In eight lessons of about 20 minutes each, followed by homework assignments, you will learn specific, actionable techniques for managing the fear and resistance you have about marketing and selling.
There were two powerful lessons I learned from this course, among many! Working with the tools in the course, I was able to name fear of rejection as the most challenging for me. C.J.’s suggested strategy of building up confidence to overcome rejection was a game changer. My second lesson was to focus on building relationships rather than selling to people. What an amazing approach to finding clients. I highly recommend this course to other self-employed professionals.

When I started as a self-employed consultant, people told me to embrace the fear. As well-meaning as that advice is, it’s not helpful because it doesn’t tell you how. This course offers a wealth of practical ideas and techniques to overcome fear — and go forth bravely to self-promote authentically and constructively. It’s filled with examples from other self-employed professionals. I got immediate value from the course and it gave my marketing a much-needed jumpstart.

This course was extremely helpful to me, helping me overcome a serious case of “imposter syndrome.” The course helped categorize my fear, learn strategies to manage it, and confidently and authentically help people with my consulting work. I highly recommend the course; it is organized into very manageable “chunks,” gives practical assignments, and builds the confidence consultants need to be successful at marketing and sales.

This is not a course of follow-me-formulas and quick fix solutions. It is a guide to understanding and dealing with the fears that hold us back. C.J. is intelligent, compassionate and wise. The result of the course for me has been to begin a transformation from being the procrastination champion of the world to believing that contacting potential clients is something I can actually enjoy.
