Mark talks to a LinkedIn follower struggling to grow his business and discovers the real problem: guilt about making profit. This psychological barrier stops many entrepreneurs from pushing forward.

And it's— I had a conversation a few months ago. Somebody asked me, hey, Mark, can I pick your brain? Trying to grow my business. I feel really stuck. And so I did a little consulting call with a guy that I respect and that's been following me on LinkedIn for quite a while. And what we got down to when it came to brass tacks was psychologically, he feels guilty about making profits.
