I tried to price our services at a “no brainer” price so that it was impossible for people to say no. But of course, some still did and I felt personally rejected. But at the same time, when I new client said “yes” and paid, I would feel a high high for a few minutes before a heavy weight of obligation came crashing down on me. At that point, I felt I had to bend over backwards to deliver & make the client happy and prove that I was worthy of what I’d just been paid.

I had these big dreams of wealth and at the same time, I felt so insignificant and like “who am I to think I can have that?” Deep down, I didn’t feel worthy of big wealth (in fact, I was scared of it) and I also didn’t trust myself to be able to handle the kinds of financial decisions that go along with bigger and bigger levels of wealth. Heck, the first time I had to wire transfer $40k to our clothing manufacturer for our e-com business, I nearly barfed.
