[https://wayofthefounder.teachable.com/p/freedom-business-circle] What if selling wasn't something you had to "get through" in your business—but the exact skill that unlocks your freedom? I sit down with sales mentor Jane Garee to unpack what selling really is (and what it's not). Spoiler: it's not about pushing, convincing, or "selling yourself." It's about facilitating powerful conversations that change lives—including your own. Inside this episode, we cover: ✨ Why selling is a noble act of service—not manipulation ✨ How to move away from "selling yourself" into offering true transformation ✨ Why rejection isn't personal (and how to detach your worth from a yes or no) ✨ The link between learning sales and creating a business that funds your freedom ✨ How to integrate travel, business, and sales so they actually work together This conversation isn't about sleazy scripts or outdated formulas. It's about redefining sales as the life skill that allows you to design a business—and a lifestyle—on your own terms.
