Check out the full episode on shifting your sales mindset:

Here’s what to expect from this episode:

Does talking about money and selling your offers freak you out? You’re not alone, and it’s one of the biggest battles new entrepreneurs make that holds them back from success. But, how do we make the shift?

Our guest today is here to help us defeat our limiting money beliefs and teach us how to sell while feeling good about it. She shares all kinds of tips on attracting new customers, nurturing your existing audience, and getting comfortable with selling your offers on social media and your podcast. 

Melissa Lin is a previously successful chemical engineer turned multiple six-figure business coach and business owner. Over the course of 2.5 years, she was trying to DIY her online business and it went nowhere. She was barely making $1k most months until she decided to push past her fears and take real action.

After figuring out powerful strategies and shifting her mindset, she went from barely making it to fully thriving in it. Now she helps other women do the same with their businesses!

“Selling is so much bigger than just our feelings.
Selling is about helping others, putting your impact out there, and sharing your gift with the world.”

— Melissa Lin
