Another great how-to get your rear in gear post, Jerry!!
Since you brought it up- #2 Piss some people off. Iβve heard others say this and I rarely have something to say that will ruffle feathers. I try to live in the positive. Now, I could be vocal about the imposter syndrome or fear of making money because I feel these are excuses not reasons to not move forward.
What holds me back? I guess Iβm afraid of negating real psychological problems since Iβve never experienced them.
I always say, is doing this and failing going to kill you? Whatβs the worse that would happen if you charged what youβre worth or if you write your heart out loud?
Youβve hit on something important. "Pissing people off" isnβt about being negative. Itβs about taking a stand for what matters and fighting a shared enemy.
Calling out imposter syndrome and money fears? Thatβs your superpower. Youβre not dismissing real struggles β youβre demystifying them. When you say, "This isnβt a life sentence. Itβs a hurdle," you give people back their power.
And about charging your worth? Itβs not selfish. Itβs how you help people long-term, attract clients who truly value transformation,and turn your "soapbox" into real, sustainable impact.
You already asked the perfect question: "Whatβs the worst that could happen?" Naming fear shrinks it. Pricing anchors your value. Writing loudly builds trust.
You gave me language I didnβt know I needed. βDemystifying, not dismissingββ¦ that reframes everything. Iβve always believed in naming fear to shrink it, but you showed me how standing up for possibility is a form of advocacy.
Thank you for reflecting back the strength in my wordsβI see now that my βsoapboxβ isnβt about shouting, itβs about showing up with clarity and courage. And you, my friend, just lit the path a little brighter.

Maybe I found my soapbox. What do you think?
Thanks, Marylee!
