Take the Shot: Why Playing It Safe Is Costing You Sales

In business, one of the biggest things holding people back isn’t their skill, strategy, or even their offer—it’s fear.
Fear of rejection.
Fear of raising rates.
Fear of making a change that might push people away.
I see it all the time with my clients. They want to charge more. They want to stop offering services that drain them. They want to reach out, promote, and sell more boldly. But they don’t. Not because they can’t, but because they’re afraid of what might happen if they do.
And here’s the hard truth:
You miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t go after.
If you don’t ask for the sale, someone else will.
If you don’t raise your rates, you’ll stay underpaid and overworked.
If you don’t make the shift your business needs, you’ll stay stuck exactly where you are.
Every Ask Is a Step Toward Growth
So many business owners operate from a place of waiting.
Waiting for the right time to increase their prices.
Waiting to feel more confident before they start selling.
Waiting for someone to tell them they’re good enough before they claim their expertise.
But this is a reactive approach. Success doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from action.
Even if only 1 out of 10 people says yes, that’s still a win. Even if you “fail” 9 times out of 10, you’re still moving forward. Because every ask, every attempt, every bold move you make gets you closer to the business you actually want.
Afraid to Raise Your Prices? Here’s the Reality Check You Need
One of the biggest fears I see is around raising prices.
“What if my clients can’t afford it?”
“What if people stop buying?”
“What if I lose business?”
But let’s flip the script for a second.
- What if raising your prices attracts clients who truly value your work?
- What if the ones who leave make space for the ones who are aligned with your business?
- What if, instead of working twice as hard for less, you could work less and earn more?
Because here’s the truth: Successful businesses don’t stay underpriced and overworked. They charge what they’re worth, and the right clients pay it—gladly.
Stop Playing Small & Start Selling Confidently
Every time you hesitate to sell, raise your rates, or promote your offers, you’re choosing to stay stuck.
But what if, instead of fearing the “no,” you focused on the potential “yes”?
What if you knew that even if only 5% of your outreach, offers, or price increases worked, it would still be worth it?
Because it would be.
The ones who succeed aren’t necessarily the most talented or even the most experienced. They’re the ones who take the shot. Over and over again.
So, what’s the move you’ve been avoiding in your business? The rate increase? The offer launch? The direct sales conversation?
Whatever it is—this is your sign to go for it.
Because playing it safe isn’t actually safe at all. It’s keeping you small.
And you’re meant for more. 🚀
