Hey, it’s Michael here, and welcome to episode twenty-eight of The Breakdown!
In this one, Darius and I dive into the money mindset that separates struggling writers from thriving ones. We unpack the three biggest internal blocks that hold people back from making more, whether you’re selling a book, course, or coaching service.
If you’ve ever told yourself “I’m not ready,” “I don’t want to sell,” or “What if no one buys it?”—this episode is for you.
Key Points
You have to get out of your own way
Fear, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs around money will sabotage your writing career before you even begin.
People love to buy (just not to be sold to)
Selling isn’t the problem, how you sell is. We talk about how to use storytelling, clarity, and ease to make your offer feel natural.
If you don’t ask, you don’t earn
Confidence to ask for the sale, pitch your product, or even just talk about your offer is a learnable skill.
Takeaway for Writers
Success starts with your mindset. If you believe in your value and learn how to communicate it, everything else gets easier.
Let us know in the chat: which of these roadblocks is holding you back the most?
See you next week!
—Michael & Darius
