Marketing is a necessary part of being a business owner. Some people love it, and some feel overwhelmed and inadequate. Today’s show covers the marketing mistakes that hinder our flow and how we can improve.

Heather Campbell is a nationally recognized branding strategist, creative problem solver, and digital marketing sherpa. On top of that, she’s a fun and inspiring person who has a passion for helping entrepreneurs. Heather founded her agency, Double Dutch Creative, in 2014, after a successful career leading branding, marketing, and strategic communications programs for multi-billion-dollar companies.

Show Highlights:

■     Establish your brand and identity

■     Align your product and pricing with what your customers want

●     Explore your “space” to see what customers want

■     Have a website that’s built to sell

●     Give customers a sense of what it’s like to work with you; show a visual difference that’s clear about what you do

○     The fix: Unapologetically own your best attributes

○     The fix: Ask specific questions to hone down to three core customer groups

●     Marketing mistake #4: Not having a website

○     The fix: Establish your website upfront, and then continue to evolve later

If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten.

If you’re a coach who wants to grow—not just check a box—this is for you.

Today’s show covers the topic of building your business with referrals--but in a new and revolutionary way. While this information is vital for coaches, it’s also applicable to any business owner. Join us to learn more!

Without Asking, and she hosts the Roadmap to Grow Your Business podcast. We’re diving into Stacey’s path along with her five-step process to generating referrals without even asking.

Show Highlights:

●     A look at Stacey’s journey of how she came to where she is today

●     What Stacey learned to help herself and help others regarding referrals

●     Why a true referral has to have a personal connection and a need that is identified in the prospect

●     What you need to know about gaining referrals by using Stacey’s five-step process:

○     Identify your referral sources

■     This is the foundational piece; resources can help, like a simple Excel spreadsheet

○     Write a handwritten Thank You note for each referral received

■     How Stacey goes above and beyond to appreciate people and make herself memorable and meaningful (“Minding your M & Ms”)

○     Build a referral plan in advance

■     How you can deepen the relationship with a series of outreaches to take care of your referral sources

○     Understand the language to use in planting referral seeds

■     How to employ the “secret sauce” to make your referral plan work
