Do You Have A Fear of Imposing On People?

Recently, a very Compassionate Woman asked me how to Overcome a Fear toward Selling that many of us, as women, experience. It’s the Fear that we are Imposing on people when Selling or Prospecting! But her Question had a slight twist because you see, there is No Cost involved with her service so … Why is it still such a big Fear?

My answer was this, “It’s not Simply about the money!” In my humble opinion we women generally do Not Feel Comfortable Asking for things in many areas of our Lives. As Women we tend to be "Givers" not "Receivers"! So if we’re not Proficient in Receiving then Asking for something can actually Feel as if we’re “Taking” something from someone and in my experience "Taking" doesn't Resonate with women at all!

Now, typically this Fear of Imposing or sensation of “Taking” surfaces when we’re asking for Money, you know Closing a Sale. We begin to question "Value" and even our Self-Worth by thinking: Does what I offer have enough Value? Or Who am I to tell other people what's important? But this Fear of Imposing can also hold us back when we’re Asking for someone's "Time" or "Endorsement" just as it did with this BH Woman. Remember, it’s not Simply about the Money! By Asking people to look at her link even though the Info was Free and then take action by forwarding it…Well, it’s still Asking! Ughhh… there’s that Feeling again: Am I Imposing? Is there enough Value to justify asking? Why should they Listen to me?

Let me help by saying this. What’s required here is an Alternative Perspective that will Change our Mind Set because that’s what allows us to Overcome Fears. Yes, even the Fear of Imposing. Here’s a New Alternative Bold and Classy Perspective.

It does Not hurt to ASK... People will either see your message and Care or Not. The people who don't care...will Simply Delete your message so No Harm Done!

Don't worry about Imposing! Most likely the people who delete it are not even going to remember that you sent them anything! A short attention span is Reality!

Now... Imagine the people who Do Care about the subject and Feel compelled to take Action by forwarding your information…they will also feel Gratitude because your hard work and research allowed them to make a difference. Oh Yeah Baby!

When the issue IS important to someone then the information really Is Appreciated! Many of Us don't have enough spare time and really do Value Information so we Thank You for Caring and we are all filled with Gratitude for your Compassion! You are Not an Imposition you are part of the Solution! Ok, How do you Feel Now?
