MVP: Cash Grabs, Sales Shaming, And Keeping Yourself Small

·44 min·1 clip

Promotion stolen, team discredited, idea stolen, then publicly shamed for selling: the origin of sales shame.

Stacey Baiman shares two parallel coaching conversations about 'cash grabs' and sales shaming. One successful client fears being perceived as 'selling' by her network; another feels shame about launching a secondary offer despite loving the delivery. Stacey unpacks her own history: early career betrayal where team's work was stolen, first public shaming for marketing, and the generational shame pattern around selling. She argues 'cash grab' is a derogatory term weaponized against successful professionals but never used for working-class earners (single moms, factory workers). She reframes profit-making as legitimate entrepreneurship (citing Shark Tank) and affirms her core belief from coaching 7,000+ coaches: authentic coaches love their clients while making money.
