How To Take Action
I would suggest rethinking how you feel about selling. It's important to know selling isn't bad. When you sell, you’re a part of a system where both people can win. So, always remember if you and the person you sold to both say "thank you," you did it right!
A good way of doing business is to make sure everything's fair. You offer something valuable, and people have the choice to buy it if they want. This means never pressuring or tricking anyone – that's not cool.
Here's something you can do right away: Make offers. Think about what you're good at or what you can provide. Then, just offer it to people who might need it. And don’t worry, if they say "no thanks," it’s okay. The important part is you gave them a choice.
To put this into action, take a look at your product or service. Ask yourself, "Who could really benefit from this?" Once you know who they are, just reach out and tell them what you’ve got. Explain how it can help them. Be clear, kind, and honest.
Remember, by not offering your stuff, someone who needs it might miss out. So, don’t hold back. Share what you have. More offers mean more chances for you and others to be happy with a good exchange.
