Are you visible in your business? Are you clear on who your ideal client is and where to find them?
21m · PublishedIf you want to grow a successful business to live your purpose and create the life of your dreams, then putting yourself out there and showing up is crucial. Hopefully some of the information covered in this podcast will help you think more about the visibility for your business.
If people don't see you, hear you or know that you exist they can't find you. If your ideal client doesn't know you can solve their problem, they can't hire you. In order to get more business, you need to not only get out there in the world, but in the right places so that you can become known by your ideal client.
Your ideal client is PART of your niche, along with what you are really good at doing, what problem you help solve, and how you solve that problem. The more you know about whom you serve, (age, profession, etc.), what their biggest pain point is, how you serve them, where they hang out, where they get their sources of information, how to evoke emotion in them, the more likely you will reach them, understand them to market your offers well to them. Here is the link to the helpful template to create an avatar of your ideal client.
Are you feeling the Coronavirus-Inspired Productivity Pressure?
15m · PublishedAre you feeling the Coronavirus-Inspired Productivity Pressure? Living our daily lives amidst this virus pandemic is enough stress. We face enough stress in life without putting more on ourselves, but that's exactly what many of us are doing right now by thinking that because we are stuck at home we are supposed to be doing something with ourselves, other than just coping.
In fact, in the first few weeks, instead of allowing ourselves some grace to adjust, especially us entrepreneurs we were hustling to move our business operations online, maintaining networking, adjusting to new schedules, learning how to home school for us parents, it's all just so much. This is some real talk on this pressure.

13m · PublishedWe have heard it a million times: "Life is Short". We have limited time on Earth, but we can live our lives to the fullest everyday. Are you truly living life to its fullest? Are you spending time on what matters most (to you)? This is a question I revisit every year when I work in my PowerSheets. It’s so important to look back, celebrate your wins, acknowledge your growth and the lessons learned and that will bring you closer to your dream life. Sounds like a Cliche? I promise it's not.
The 2010s are coming to a close and we’re about to enter a whole new decade. I don’t know about you, but a lot has happened over the last ten years. Even in the last one year; incredible things, super challenging things, but look at how much has changed.
Psychologist and computer scientist J.C.R. Licklider said “People overestimate what can be done in one year, and underestimate what can be done in ten.”
So in today's episode, we talk about A Decade In Review:
- Where were you 10 years ago today? Consider where you are now, what has changed?
- What have you learned over these past ten years?
- What mistakes have you made?
- What were your lessons learned?
- What have you said you'd do "one day" that you haven’t made time for? (eh hem, go do it NOW!)
- What do you need to let go of (cue Frozen music) in order move forward in 2020?
I’d love to know — what’s the #1 thing you’re letting go of before the new decade? We will be doing a special ceremony at the Holiday Party on Sunday, (with super cool dissolvable paper!) hope you will be joining us, otherwise, please let me know in the comments below. Share as much detail as you feel comfortable.

Happy Holidays!
