What gives you the right to do the work you do? To build the business you're building? To ask your clients to trust and buy from you?

If you're ready to take me out back and fight, good!

I want you to fight for your value. Your brilliance. Your right to do the work you want to do.

One of the things that held me back for a long time in my business was my lack of confidence in myself.

I felt like I had to take one more certification. Complete one (or many) more classes. Test out my skills and offer with one more person...

...but it was never enough.

I never felt like the time was right and that I was empowered to do this work until one day a business mentor asked me that very question...

...what gives you the right to do this work?

And why should I believe you?

Oh that got me mad. Really mad.

And I fought hard for my skills, my experience and my uniqueness.

Then I went home and made a list of more than 50 reasons why I had the right to do this work.

And another 50 reasons why people should believe me.

Then I started to believe myself.

CHALLENGE

Set your timer for 15 minutes and let every single reason why YOU are qualified to do this work pour out. No censorship. No qualifications.
