Nobody cares more about your personal finances than you.

All that Google traffic stumbling across your site? Those visitors aren’t concerned about you earning enough this month to pay your mortgage.

Have you even started building or promoting your site yet? Get on it and forget what the naysayers have to say.

The paid ad campaign you drafted that you think is over-the-top? Make it go live. Stop worrying that people will see your advertisements and think you’re a money-grubber. Fear and worry are robbing you blind.

Stop worrying what email subscribers will think if you promote a fantastic and useful product in your newsletter.

Stop convincing yourself that you need to tuck that article you wrote into drafts where the world can’t see it.

You know the one I’m talking about; it does that whole salesy thing and promotes you or your services without shame or apology.

Stop thinking that anyone other than you truly cares about the lifeblood of your business. You have to take control.

Start caring more about your survival by taking a stand. Take control of your message, your voice, your newsletter and the ads you place.

Take action today, even right now, if you haven’t already. Or if you’ve kept telling yourself, “I’ll start a business someday,” then cut it out and make it happen today.

Get out there and sell proudly and ethically. You deserve those sales for your effort.

Are you guilty of standing in your own way? As always, please share your thoughts in the comments.
