  • Ep #95: How Can I Differentiate Myself as an Entrepreneur?

    Let’s be honest, you’re not REALLY competing with well-established brands when you’re new to business - you’re vying for the attention of their customers.

    When most people think about differentiation as a concept, their brain will immediately go to comparative differentiators like:

    • Pricing
    • Features/Benefits
    • Customer Experience
    • These are the attributes of your offerings that you believe are better than or different from your competition.

      Some other, less obvious, comparative differentiators are things like your branding, the problem you solve, and even your mission or values as a brand. All of these can be replicated or closely copied by others in your space, no matter how unique to you they feel.

      Then, there are holistic differentiators, which few entrepreneurs can rely on. And finally, there are your unique differentiators or things no one can replicate, like your personal story, voice, or even copyrighted material.

      Today, you'll uncover your differentiators and, if your differentiators aren't immediately obvious to you, a way to stand apart no matter what.

      If you're ready to create a brand people know, like, and trust that feels special and magnetic, this is the episode for you!

    • Ep #94: How to Create An Industry-Leading Personal Brand

      Every entrepreneur has a personal brand, including you.

      As one of my favorite authors Simon Sinek says, “there's what you do and why you do it.” Branding is the embodiment of the why. It captures the feelings and emotions of your brand and creates long-term value and trust.

      Think about it as your essence and the core of your business.

      Today, you're going to define this in under 30 minutes by doing a few simple exercises on branding that I give to my clients.

      If you're ready to discover what you want people to associate with your name and how to influence them to do so, this is the episode for you.

      Get ready for some powerful changes in a short time!

    • Ep #92: Building on Your Business Success with Evaluations

      How do you measure success in your business - and how often?

      Today, we're going to talk about conducting thoughtful evaluations in your business on a consistent basis, so you can more easily see where there's room to improve, evolve, grow, adapt, and strengthen the actions you take for optimal success.

      Most entrepreneurs understand and even have a process for this, yet they don't do it often (or often enough) to see real change.

    • Ep #90: How to Dramatically Reduce Your Customer Acquisition Costs

      Let's talk about customer acquisition costs (CAC) and how to lower them quickly and strategically as an entrepreneur!

      Most entrepreneurs never calculate this number. They don’t have a clue what it costs them to acquire new customers, so planning for profit simply doesn’t happen. Over 80% of my business is profit, and my customer acquisition costs are between 1-3% of my average lifetime customer value.

      Today, I'm going to share how I've created this result and lots of different ways you can reduce your CAC to see higher profit margins in your business - starting as soon as today.

      If you want fast, creative ways to dramatically increase your profit, this is the episode for you!

    • Ep #89: Creative Ways Entrepreneurs Can Make $1,000 in 30 Days (or Less)

      Let's talk about how to create money in your business whenever you like.

      A lot of times when you read articles or listen to podcast episodes on this topic, the methods they share to make $1,000 are outside of or unrelated to your specific skill set and what you sell.

      Today, we're going to be focused on ways you can create a thousand dollars that align with the business you’re building and can be replicated to create money anytime in feel-good ways.

      If you want to make money easier - repeatedly - then this is the episode for you!

    • Ep #88: 5 Secrets to Consistent Success as an Entrepreneur

      You may have some ideas about consistency that work against your success.


      The truth? Consistency doesn’t demand a frequency, just a commitment. It's about creating steadiness. Whatever is going to bring you the highest ratio of satisfaction to joy and success is best.

      Today, we’re going to talk about how you can decide on a plan for consistency that gets you to a point where you are certain about how often you show up and crush it when you do.

    • Ep #87: Why Entrepreneurs Should Never Stop Selling

      Often, entrepreneurs - especially solopreneurs - will control their flow of new customers by selling or not. A quick jolt when customers are needed and abrupt stop when they either have no or little capacity to take on more of them.

      This is a mistake, and today we’re going to talk not only about why but how to strategically set yourself up to sell all the time without the stress of too many or few new customers as a result of your efforts.

      If you want your effort as a salesperson to guarantee sales more often than not, this is the episode for you!
