In this episode of Soulpreneur Scaling Stories, I'm diving into why marketing feels so hard for VAs, OBMs, and service providers, and why it's absolutely not your fault. 

If you've ever stared at a blank screen wondering what to post, felt guilty about not being "consistent" with content, or wondered why marketing advice never seems to work for you, this episode will change everything.

I break down the three major reasons why standard marketing advice fails service providers: wrong business model assumptions, wrong personality assumptions, and unrealistic time expectations. Most marketing advice is designed for coaches and course creators who ARE the product, not for service providers who are busy actually doing the work for clients.

You don't need 10,000 followers - you need 10 amazing clients and solid referrals. Your marketing should be relationship-based, not audience-based, and it should honor your natural personality instead of forcing you into an extroverted box that feels awful. 

If you're tired of feeling like you're failing at marketing when really you've just been using the wrong strategy, this episode will give you permission to stop beating yourself up and start marketing in a way that actually works for your business model.
