What truly sets you apart when others are offering the same?

In this episode of The Business of Stories, Susan shares why everything from your background, values and quirks to your lessons and lived experiences create a unique blend no one else can replicate. And, how you can use that to make sure your positioning feels aligned, your messaging gets easier, and clients see the real value you bring.

Susan also shares practical places to look for your uniqueness and how to thread what’s different about you into your offers, content, and conversations - without feeling like you’re bragging. 

If you’ve ever wondered “what makes me different?” this episode will help you see it, own it, and share it.

Here are the highlights:

• How your unique blend of stories, skills, and life experiences set you apart in a world of lookalike businesses
• Why embracing who you are matters just as much as what you do.
• How to uncover the hidden gifts, superpowers or magic touches that make your work one of a kind (even if you don’t realise it)
• How your challenges, hobbies, and even random interests can become part of your business magic.
• How leaning into what you bring to your work will help you say no to things (and people) that aren’t aligned and build a business that makes you happy 
• And a simple way to start weaving your unique blend into how you show up today.

This inspiring episode will help you stand in your value, attract the right clients, and build a business that feels fully aligned with who you are. 

If you’re ready to stop downplaying what makes you different and start showing up with clarity and confidence, this episode is a must-listen.
