When you hear the word marketing you think of social media, right?

Do you feel STUCK in your business?

Running a business is exceedingly hard. You're on social media for what feels like 100 hours every week. Your to-do list is 16 pages long. You're even putting yourself out there and doing sales. And still.....nothing.

Sometimes it can feel like you are pushing forward, doing all the things, and yet somehow you feel like you're in the same place you were yesterday.

What if I told you there was a way to get out of this rut and PUSH your business forward very quickly?

There's a tactic that I used to use all the time that moved my last business forward VERY quickly. But I had stopped doing it....until yesterday.

In today's episode I share with you:

- What I did yesterday that is going to make this conference absolutely INCREDIBLE

- Why I decided to be BOLD and put myself out there in ways I hadn't for years

- The things that had been holding me back from using this tactic (and how I realized that I am a badass)

- Why hearing no can be incredibly value for your business' growth

- How to get past your fears of putting yourself out there in BIG ways

- Why you should use this tactic to move your business forward a million times faster

A few years ago, I felt like no one took me seriously. I wasn't getting the opportunities I was hoping for and wasn't sure how to change how people viewed me. I wanted them to see me as professional, capable of taking on challenging tasks, and smart enough to execute and get them the results they were looking for.

"What if this just doesn't work?!"

We all want more sales, right? Well, what if I told you that the single best way to get more sales isn't through selling but through building a BRAND?

Here's the thing, we all think people are going to buy our product because it's the best. The best energy bar. The best yoga classes. The best digital marketing service. 

But having the best product or service isn't what gets you sales - it's getting in front of your customer in a way that SUBCONSCIOUSLY appeals to them. 

Want to know more? Here's what we're talking about in this week's episode:

- Why building a successful business requires more than just a great product

- What branding actually is (spoiler alert: it's more than just colours and fonts)

- How to subconsciously appeal to your customer

- The (slightly cheesy) exercise you can do to really get to know your customer

- Choosing brand elements that appeal to your customer
