"Popular! You're gonna be popular!" Glinda's iconic song from Wicked is catchy, confident, and completely wrong—at least when it comes to your marketing strategy. 

Just like that peppy song promises popularity is the answer to everything, we're often told that appealing to everyone is the key to business success. But is that actually true?

In this episode, I'm exploring why being specific (and authentic!) beats being popular in business, and how to stop diluting your message trying to please everyone. You'll learn how to identify your unique angle, craft messaging that attracts perfect-fit clients, and build a business that's sustainable without trying to appeal to people who were never even your. buyers in the first place.
