Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m trying to win a client and I keep guarding my actual expertise behind a paywall, but I sense the way to earn their trust is to just give them something genuinely useful up front
- It’s not about the money
- I want to be the kind of person who helps people out, but I keep waiting for some big perfect way to do it and end up doing nothing
- Almost all my discretionary money goes to treats for myself and the lift fades fast, and I notice the moments I actually felt good were the small things I did for other people
- I’m good at the collaborative part — I help grow the deal and everyone’s warm — and then I’m so worried about seeming greedy that I walk away with the short end while they take most of what we built.
