50 Vulnerability Series Part 1: Waiting for Permission Is Killing Your Sales

Giving Yourself Permission: The First Step to Success

In this episode, Roma, a sales systems coach, emphasizes the importance of giving yourself permission to pursue your dreams, whether it's starting a business, making a big life change, or even something as simple as buying a T-shirt. Roma shares her journey of creating over half a million in sales in less than three years and discusses the common barriers to self-permission, particularly for women of color and daughters of immigrant parents. She identifies three key areas where people often wait for permission—self, family, and friends—and provides actionable advice on overcoming these hurdles by seeking validation from communities aligned with your goals. Roma encourages viewers to build self-trust and surround themselves with supportive networks as the first step in achieving their aspirations. This is the first part of her vulnerability series, with more insights to come.
