In other words, I gave away my power.”</p><p>“When you're selling for your own company, it feels like you're selling you. And you really have to be more objective than subjective.”</p><p>“You could see that I made it about me, and not about the contribution that I could have made for those families or that any of us can make for our clients. So I think rather than asking the question, who am I…change your question and really make it more, who will benefit from me offering this service and being a champion?”</p><p>“It wasn't just that you were told these things, but on some level you bought into it. And because you bought into it, then you can unlearn it.”
