But here’s where your people-pleasing habits tear apart your brand from the inside out and lose 99% of your business. There is a research-based statistic that can release all that pain, frustration, and hardship around trying to be more likable. 1/10 people will do this no matter what – Alfred Adler.  Listen to this and share with every people pleaser and entrepreneur you know.

What’s dying in your business, what weeds are taking hold? Did you plant the harvest you want to sow in 3 months or 3 years? Take stock of your business and personal life in today’s episode. Grow your business.

Most entrepreneurs don’t realize that they haven’t specialized in anything and that it’s directly affecting the success of their business. When you start to do that you realize that it can cause more fear, perfectionism and start to paralyze you or cause you to start acting or feeling inauthentic.

Why!? Because you become vulnerable. “Without vulnerability, there is no creativity or innovation.” – Brené Brown.

Time to clear up some common misconceptions about dharma or finding your purpose.

◉ Dharma is not solid or a set point. 
◉ You can have multiple dharmas or purposes.
◉ You were born into it – but you also create it. 
◉ Your dharma or your purpose isn’t a job or title or side hobby. It’s what you do inside of it. The change, a mission and effect you have.

You’re not alone in kicking yourself later for not “saying it right” the first time.
The Side effects of being an entrepreneur, a breaker of chains, a rebel, a creative, an influencer, a risk-taker is: People are not going to GET IT at times. And when they don’t it might trigger you to be inauthentic, spinning out overthinking it later.

Three situations of people not “Getting It”:
1: People who don’t get it and they don’t need to get it. 2: We want them to get it and they won’t get it no matter how hard we try. 3: People who do need to get it but can’t because of a lack of communication or clarity on our part.

Listen to the episode to unravel a bit more about communication in business and in your personal life so that you can feel more responsive, clear and authentic.

You want to be seen as a professional online. You’re worried that not looking professional enough is losing sales and you’re embarrassed to send over a great lead or network contact to your website right?

What if I told you that having the standard “professional” brand could also lose you clients and sales!?

In this episode I cover:

• The theories and shift in marketing. 
• The future of branding. 
• Where personal branding works. 
• 4 tips to create a personal brand. 
• Who personal branding is really about. 

You can be both professional and personal. If there was one thing that I would hang my hopes and dreams on it’s being personal. My motto is “Perfection will never replace authenticity.” The world is changing. Client & customer mentality has shifted. Overly corporate, templated and inhuman brands are no longer evoking trust or connect well with their audiences.

Live into your brand (authentically) and tell your story with your life.

If you want to rebrand or refresh your website and create a more powerful and personal brand contact me and we can set up a discovery call to look over what you have now and brainstorm ways that it can become more powerful.
