139: Overcome the Fear of Rejection

Author: The Two Lauras January 14, 2025 Duration: 22:08

Think you don’t have a fear of rejection? Think again! In today’s episode, we’re sharing the three ways you might find it showing up for you (and one of these REALLY triggered Laura Davis!!). 

So, if you’re finding clients hard to sign, make sure you listen in to see if you’re doing one of these three things. We’re also talking about Chris Hemsworth, and why our new effect named after him is going to help you stop discounting your services. Intrigued? We thought so! Hit play and find out what we’re on about.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • Why you might not even realise you have a fear of rejection
  • Niching down and why you really, really need to do it
  • How to get rid of your packaged pricing
  • Chris Hemsworth and why he’ll help you to market your business better (yes… really.)
