Is there an invisible enemy blocking your success? Do you appear successful but secretly feel stuck, unhappy and unfulfilled?

“Many smart and successful women have a hidden adversary,” says Master Certified Life Coach, writer and speaker Amy Pearson. “It’s The Approval Trap – the need to be liked by everyone and be selfless and perfect in everything you do!” The Approval Trap is like a secret addiction, says Amy, and until you address this powerful inner adversary, it keeps you from taking the risks you need to grow your business and get paid what you deserve. How do you know if you’re caught in The Approval Trap? Here are some of the signs:

• You want the Entire Known Universe to like you, so instead of attracting ideal clients, you end up with a hodgepodge.
• You constantly question your competence and don’t want to raise your rates because you want your clients to have an amazing experience and you’re not sure if the quality of your work justifies asking for more money.
• You secretly fear you will fail, and so even though you have big dreams, you never really give it 100 percent because the world might find out you’re incompetent.
• You don’t think you have anything new to offer, so you resist putting yourself out there because there are a million people who can do what you do better.

The good news, says Pearson, is that it doesn’t have to be this way. In her life-changing presentation, “The Approval Trap: The Secret Reason You Can’t Raise Your Rates, Attract Your Ideal Client, or Create Kick-Ass Results in Your Biz and Life (And How to Fix It Right Now), she shows how to stop playing small and step into the life you’ve always wanted. Her 6-step “Be Brazen Blueprint” helps you replace The Approval Trap with Radical Authenticity, which gives you the power to attract the people you’re meant to serve (your tribe) and do the unique work in the world you’re meant to do.

“When you see through The Approval Trap,” says Amy, “you’ll raise your rates with total confidence and attract clients eager to pay what you’re worth.” You’ll leave her dynamic talk knowing how to triumph over this invisible enemy that has you constantly questioning your competence and fearing you’re not giving your clients enough value. And you’ll stop holding your business – and YOU – back, able to be of deep service to your clients, your colleagues, and to the world.
