Questioner: Hi Simone. This is regarding your Truth & Dare post.
I went through some shift in my journey. I went silent, and it’s been a while since I put out my offer. I’m struggling to put one out as hesitation arises. I think I’m going for your dare challenge. Help!
Simone: What would be your desired goal if you could wave a magic wand and make it happen?
Questioner: Money, sales, aligned clients. WHY IS IT UNCOMFORTABLE TO ADMIT?
Simone: Ok, here’s your first dare: admit that you want money, sales, and aligned clients. Say it out loud. Because you’re good at what you do and can’t wait to make an impact.
Then tell people what you help with, and end with an invitation. No over-explaining, justifying, apologizing, or hedging. Just say it plainly and straightforwardly.

Unfiltered truth vs. “pain point marketing”
I’ve been silent. Help, give me a dare!
I’m being vulnerable… so why am I invisible?
This really hit home — the part about admitting what you want without hedging or apologizing is powerful. The silence often comes from fear of being seen wanting something, but naming it out loud is what breaks the spell. I needed this nudge to stop over-explaining and just put the invitation out there. On a totally different note, I was checking my setup recently and found a great mouse tester that helped me catch a double-click issue I’d been ignoring — funny how clearing small friction points helps you focus on the bigger dares.
