On this episode of the Massive Agent Podcast, we’re going to figure out exactly what’s holding you back. Why aren’t you living the career that you want to live? Why haven’t you hit your goals yet? What are you afraid of? 

Too often, the answer to that question is “losing money.” It’s what holds most of us back from making big investments in ourselves. 

But that fear of losing money could be exactly what’s getting in the way of your growth. 

It’s a human story. Humans are not that complex (we’re really not). And usually, the issues and the limiting beliefs that hold us back are pretty similar, no matter what your industry, environment, or background. So, let’s talk about it.

Maybe you, like many in this industry, can describe your current situation as “just getting by,” whether you’re talking about your finances or the whole picture of your existence on this planet. And there are a number of reasons for that. 

If you’re struggling to make ends meet as an agent, it’s understandable to look at the cost of a coaching program or industry event and think, “It’s too much! I can’t risk not being able to recover from an expense like that. What if it doesn’t make a difference?” 

What are you really saying when you back away from an opportunity that costs you more money than you’ve ever invested in yourself? We’re gonna talk about that. Because you need to hear it.
