In this eye-opening episode of the Mind Over Money Podcast, Jessen James dives into the rising fear of scams and how our past experiences can make us overly skeptical of new opportunities. He challenges listeners to question whether they’re genuinely protecting themselves or simply holding themselves back. Through personal stories and tough love, Jessen shares how shifting your mindset can unlock growth, especially in business and sales.
Key Takeaways:
Not everything that seems too good to be true is a scam, but failing to do proper due diligence while also dismissing opportunities can be just as harmful. Many people unknowingly sabotage their success by carrying past fears into new decisions. True progress comes when you stop scamming yourself through procrastination, avoidance, and self-doubt, and start showing up with clarity, openness, and commitment.
Podcast Highlights:
Jessen reflects on his own journey from hating sales to embracing it as a way to serve others, emphasising that everyone is in sales — whether convincing your kids to go to bed or negotiating a raise. He urges listeners to rethink the “scam” narrative, especially when it's based on old wounds, and warns that pointing fingers too quickly might reflect a deeper avoidance of personal responsibility. By calling out the ways we deceive ourselves, from unfinished projects to constant procrastination, Jessen empowers us to stop hiding behind fear and start moving forward with integrity and purpose.
