Embarrassment
I had a handful of potential clients contact me last week who were struggling with credit card debt. At 24% interest, credit card debt is a serious problem, but one that can can be overcome.
Despite their initial and proactive effort, I never heard from any of them again.
Being ghosted by potential clients is annoying, but it’s part of the business. My real concern is that these people will likely never get the help they need.
Embarrassment Roadblock
I obviously don’t know why they never reached back out, but I can guess that it had to do with embarrassment. If this sounds familiar, below are three things to keep in mind:
Hiding Your Debt Doesn’t Solve Anything: Ignoring the problem only compounds it. This is equivalent to ignoring a health conduction, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. If untreated, it could lead to heart disease, a stroke, or other life-threatening complications.
You Are Not Alone: Millions of Americans are in credit card debt with an average balance of approximately $6,000.
The Cover is Not The Book: Some of the your richest friends IRL or on social media are likely not rich at all!
What You Should Be Embarrassed About?
