#016: The Hidden Cost of Playing Nice in Business [David Spinks]

Slow Down To Speed Up

When is the last time you felt completely stuck growing your business, knowing what you "should" do but feeling unable to do it? In this coaching session, successful founder David Spinks opens up about his struggle with traditional marketing after his startup exit. What starts as a conversation about business development quickly reveals deeper truths about money, authenticity, and the fears that hold us back.

David sold his company CMX and stepped into coaching, only to find himself hitting an internal ceiling around $300K - exactly what his family needs to thrive. Through our exploration, we discover how childhood experiences with abandonment and conflict show up in surprising ways in our business decisions.

Themes we explore:

• The hidden psychology behind marketing resistance
• How childhood money stories impact adult business decisions
• Breaking through internal income ceilings
• Finding authentic ways to grow without compromising values
• The relationship between fear of abandonment and business growth
