I’m Tired of Selling: Here’s What I’m Doing Instead

Let me just go ahead and say what’s been sitting heavy on my chest for a minute:

I’m tired of selling.

And before anybody hits me with the “But you’ve been in business for over 17 years!”—I know. I have. That’s why I’m saying this with my whole chest.

Because the more time I’ve spent in business, the more I’ve realized:

My calling might include sales—but my calling ain’t selling.

Let me explain.

Selling Doesn’t Feel Like It Used To

There was a time when I loved launching.

Creating new products. Mapping out funnels. Planning promos.

But now? Whew. It feels heavy. Exhausting, even.

Like… I build something I’m proud of, put my whole heart into it, and then BOOM—I’m expected to flip the switch and suddenly become a full-time hype woman.

(And yes, I am good at that. But I don’t always want to be.)

Sometimes, I just want to create a product or offer and not feel like I have to go into performance mode to get people to buy it.

Anyone else?

I’m Not Saying I Don’t Want Sales

Let’s be clear: I still want the revenue.

I still want the impact.

I still want to serve and see people transformed by what I create.

But I want it to come from a place that feels aligned.

Not like I’m forcing something.

I want it to feel like ease.

Like obedience to God’s call, not pressure from business culture.

Because if I’m honest, sales culture can sometimes start to feel like striving.

And I promised myself a long time ago—I’m done striving for things God already said are mine.

Pivoting Into Ease

Here’s the truth:

The older I get, the more I care about how I feel while I’m building.

If it doesn’t feel aligned, authentic, or rooted in purpose—I don’t want it.

So instead of selling in a way that drains me, here’s what I’m doing instead:

1. Letting My Products Speak for Themselves

I’m building offers that carry their own weight.

Products and programs so good that they spread through word-of-mouth.

No gimmicks. Just goodness.

2. Creating from Alignment, Not Obligation

If it’s not coming from a place of overflow, I don’t want it.

I’m no longer forcing launches because “it’s time” or because “that’s what everyone’s doing.”

I’m asking God what He wants me to release—and when.

3. Going Where My Audience Already Is

Like with my handbag business, Aubrey Taylor—I sign up for local markets where people already want what I have.

And the product does the talking.

It’s reminding me that sometimes we don’t need more ads.

We just need to be in the right rooms.

4. Designing Low-Lift Offers

Not everything needs a sales page, a webinar, and a 17-email funnel.

Sometimes, it’s a $27 guide that I post once and it gets picked up naturally.

Or a workshop I host twice a year for people who already know what I carry.

5. Trusting God to Fill the Gaps

I’m leaning into the idea that my effort doesn’t make the results happen—my obedience does.

If God told me to create it, I trust He’ll also send the people who need it.

6. Using My Day Job to Ease the Hustle

Listen—my 9–5 isn’t just a job. It’s a buffer.

When things feel heavy in business, I let my full-time role hold me down while I catch my breath.

No pressure to launch something new. No anxiety about chasing every dollar.

Just space to breathe, reset, and remember that rest is still productive.

If Your Calling Ain’t Sales… You’re Not Alone

Let’s stop acting like every entrepreneur has to love selling.

Because some of us are called to teach, to heal, to create, to encourage, to build, to mentor—and selling is just the vehicle, not the mission.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or downright resentful every time you have to “show up and sell”... I see you.

It doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for business.

It might just mean it’s time for a new rhythm.

One that feels lighter.

One that leaves space for joy.

One that lets you serve with ease, instead of hustle with anxiety.

Final Word: Stop Forcing What Was Never Meant to Be Forced

You can pivot.

You can simplify.

You can quiet the noise and go back to what God told you to do.

Your obedience doesn’t have to look like theirs.

Your strategy doesn’t have to be flashy.

Your gift doesn’t have to be performed to be powerful.

Sometimes, the most successful thing you can do is build quietly… and let God handle the rest.
