Key Takeaways...

🔹 Focus on One Strong Channel – Instead of trying to be everywhere, pick one place where your ideal clients are and show up consistently. A clear offer makes it easier for them to say yes.

🔹 Create Once, Use Everywhere – A podcast, blog, or video series can be turned into social posts, emails, and more. This saves time and keeps your message clear.

🔹 Start with a Small Paid Offer – A low-cost service, like a strategy session or project review, helps clients get to know you. It builds trust and makes the next step feel natural.
