10 reasons why women leaders don’t sell themselves or their business

Top 10 reasons why women don’t sell themselves or their business/side hustle

1. Don’t want to seem pushy.
2. Feel weird asking for money.
3. Ok if it’s for a business/charity but not your own work.
4. Helping people is more important than money.
5. Scared of what people will say.
6. Scared of turning people off.
7. Don’t want to be annoying.
8. Don’t feel experienced enough.
9. Don’t have the right qualifications.
10. Would happily offer the service for free.
