Want More Money, Peace, and Power? Have This Conversation
Mario Lanzarotti •
Can I share a simple truth with you? Your degree of success and peace of mind is directly correlated to the number of uncomfortable conversations you’re willing to have. Think about it — whether it’s asking for the money you deserve, setting boundaries, or owning your leadership, the conversations you avoid are often the ones that unlock the life you want. Let’s explore three key areas: Money, Peace, and Power — and why uncomfortable conversations are the gateway to each. Money: Asking for What You’re Worth You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. — Wayne Gretzky One of my clients, an agency owner, was losing money because he was carrying too much risk for his clients. To fix it, he needed to restructure the payment process so clients would pay more upfront. He was terrified they’d say no — or worse, leave. But here’s what actually happened: his client agreed without hesitation. The result? He’s now paid what he’s worth. His stress has significantly decreased. His clients get better outcomes in the long run. Ask Yourself: Where am I undercharging my services? Where am I asking for less even though I am worth more? What can I do to change that? Peace: Setting Boundaries You teach people how to treat you by what you allow, what you stop, and what you reinforce. — Tony Gaskins Years ago, I decided I was no longer available on weekends. No exceptions. I let my clients know they shouldn’t expect replies outside business hours, and I only respond when I choose to. This wasn’t an easy shift, but it freed up my weekends for much needed recovery. The result? I’m more energized, focused, and present during the week and my business doubled. Ask Yourself: Where am I overextending yourself, and what boundary would bring me more peace? What action can I take today? Power: Owning Your Leadership In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. — Albert Einstein Another client of mine was avoiding financial conversations with his co-founders. He assumed things would work themselves out — but they didn’t. He was stressed, anxious, and afraid that speaking up might cause the partnership to fall apart. But when he finally had the conversation, everything changed. It brought clarity, strengthened trust, and aligned everyone’s expectations. The result? They built a thriving brand culture, turned their business into a multi-million-dollar success, and became one of the top agency coaching programs in the industry. Ask Yourself: What conversation am I avoiding right now? What is it that I would like to be able to communicate if there were not negative consequences? In Closing Uncomfortable conversations are the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. They can feel daunting, but they’re often the key to unlocking more money, peace, and power. Challenge for This Week: Pick one reflective question above. Decide on one conversation you’ve been avoiding — and commit to having it. The life you want is just one bold conversation away. To your growth, Mario
