In this episode, I’m diving into a hard question new entrepreneurs must ask themselves: How do I know when I’m ready to start my business? In my own business, my community was ready to see me as an expert before I was even ready myself! The second you say that you have something to offer, people will start to see you as that expert. 

I’ll take you through some of the things I did at the beginning of my own business to start viewing myself as the professional others already saw me as.

During this episode I discuss:

• Start small by leaning into your current personal and professional networks. 
• Begin sharing your short-form content in an email newsletter and collect subscribers. 
• Expertise isn’t a credential that you learn -- honest energy, effort, and visibility is enough!
• You’re here to give your clients a safe space to inspire confidence, not to guarantee them success.
• Define ONE problem to help your clients solve. A simple, clear offer is all you need.
• Offer your perspective and how you handle challenges in order to build trust with your clients.
• Small actions can make a BIG difference in other people’s lives!
