TIP 31: Ditch the Fear: How to Promote Yourself with Confidence and Authenticity

Why does selling feel so awkward? Whether you’re asking patients to rebook, promoting a new course, event, or service, suggesting supplements or clinical testing, or showing up on social media, the fear of being pushy or annoying often holds us back.
But here’s the truth: By avoiding promotion or hesitating to ask someone to book or purchase from you, you’re not only leaving money on the table—you’re also preventing your patients from getting the help and results they need, faster.
In this episode, we’ll dive into the uncomfortable truth about selling: why it feels wrong, how it’s holding your business back, and how you can shift your mindset to embrace it authentically.
You’ll learn how to promote yourself with confidence, stop taking rejection personally, and build a thriving business that serves both you and your patients.
