Your soulful brand

How confident are you with saying NO in your biz? Or do you say yes, when your heart feels it is a no?

In this week’s show I discuss actionable steps of how you can begin to own your boundaries for the biz long game. 

• What boundaries mean in the context of your biz.
• The impact of neglecting your boundaries.
• Why knowing yourself is the first step to owning your boundaries.

It’s so easy to get distracted with the next shiny object syndrome during your day. Maybe you sit at your computer for a morning of work, but are left wondering what you actually did. As a soulful brand, you also want a soulful life. If you’re not efficient and productive, then you can work more than you need. The result? You feel unfulfilled, resentful and energetically misaligned. 

Good news is there are ways to organise your days and change your mindset to your work. By doing this, you can move the needle in a more meaningful way.  

By the time you have finished listening, you will discover:

• What mindset shifts can support you to be more productive when working.
• Why batching your work is a no brainer.
• How to remove distractions so you can focus on the 1 thing.
• Why it’s so important to know yourself and play to your strengths.
• What self-care has to do with productivity at work.
• How delegate or dump is a great philosophy to adopt in your soulful brand.

At the heart of your soulful brand is your soulmate clients. This is a step beyond an ideal client. Your soulmate clients are the people you’re here to serve.  I see so many people who end up saying yes to clients who are not their soulmate clients. The result? They end up feeling deeply unfulfilled with their work. 

By the time you have finished listening, you will discover:

• What a soul mate client is.
• The effect on you and your biz when you work for clients who are not the right fit for you or your biz.
• The place where you should start when looking to define your soul mate client - hint: it’s probably not where you think.
• Knowing your worth when it comes to asking for what clients you desire.
• How to call in your soul mate clients.
• Becoming a magnet to your soul mate clients.

In this episode I discuss how to create your soulful brand. This is an important episode as it gives you a flavour for what this show is all about.

The online marketing world can feel so noisy. Maybe you feel this, too? If you're creating a brand which is other-led and other-focused, you don’t honour your unique gifts. This is why I’m so passionate about you following your intuitive guidance and connecting with your community from a deeper, more meaningful place. 

This is the new paradigm in marketing. You are the expert of your brand and it’s time to step into this inner knowing and create your soulful brand.

By the time you have finished listening, you will discover:

• What a soulful brand means to me.
• Why your intuition is your superpower in your biz, and life.
• Why it’s so important that you know yourself when creating your brand. 
• Why empathy is so important in marketing
• Connection based marketing and what this is. 
• Why your brand should energise you, and serve you.
• Why building a sustainable brand is important.
• The importance of being in your heart space so you can connect deeply with your audience.

Do you constantly wonder what to share with your community? You want to add value, rather than add to the noise in the wellness space. This is such a common question I get so I want to bring it to the show.

One thing people do not realise is that there is a real reason why repeating your message is a good thing. Once you realise this, you can begin to lean into this and repurpose your content. In this week’s show, I discuss the reasons why it’s a good thing to repeat your message. Once you bring awareness to it, you can then change your mindset around how you produce and share content with your community. 

By the time you have finished listening,  you will discover:

• Why looking at how you consume content can help you to understand how your audience consumes your content. 
• Why you don’t need to be on all platforms to have successful biz. 
• An example of when I needed a message to be repeated in my space before I took action and why I was grateful for this.
• Psychology 101 on why you need to repeat your message.
• Why repeating your message can help build familiarity and trust. 
• Why repeating your message is not about literally copying the same message over and over.

Wherever you are in your biz, you can so easily lose the joy and passion for your work. Being an entrepreneur is a big deal. It’s not all laptops on the beach. 

The thing is, if you don’t build joy into your days you can end up feeling joyLESS and resent aspects of being an entrepreneur. Many people start their wellness biz after leaving their corporate 9-5. Maybe you are the same? But they end up working long hours and doing #allthethings that they don’t want to do. This episode is a reminder that you are worthy of feeling joy in your biz. You can lead with joy. Joy shouldn’t be an afterthought. 

By the time you have finished listening,  you will discover:

• How it’s easy to lose your passion in your biz when you’re just starting out with what feels like a mountain to climb.
• How you get to choose how and where you show up for your biz.
• Why you need to come back to why you left the corporate 9-5 world so you don’t end up in the same position in your own biz.
• Why it’s important to step into your CEO role and own this.
• Why building a brand and your life generally can be considered one and the same thing. 
• Ways you can bring my joy into your work.

Do you feel like you’re trapped by your brand message? Like you are held hostage to your brand message and must stay faithful to it? This is the episode for you.

Nothing in nature stays the same, so why do we feel like we can’t also grow and change our mind? I believe your evolution can be a seed of inspiration to others. Give yourself permission for your message to be rooted to you and not some fixed opinion. This can make for a more vibrant, energetic brand. I talk more about how your concerns around this can hold you back from owning your message.

By the time you have finished listening, you will discover:

• You can give yourself permission to grow and evolve your opinion and message.
• Examples of people I follow and respect who have changed their viewpoints. 
• How allowing your community into your life as you grow and evolve can hold space for individuals in your community to also grow and evolve.
• Why trying to have all of the answers right now can hold you back from sharing your message.

You may wonder how much you should share online to be seen as authentic. There are so many shoulds in life. It’s time to own your brand and do it your way. The word authentic seems to have become confused. Almost like you need to share all of your life to be seen as authentic.

I share my opinion on this and why it all starts with you. 

By the time you have finished listening,  you will discover:

• Why you should ban the word should in your life and biz
• An exercise where you can set clear boundaries on what you want to share with your audience.
• How having a personal brand can blur the boundaries between life and work.
• How comparing your brand and life to others is not helpful as we all have different rules on what feels good. 
• An example shared by Amy Porterfield may help you on this issue. 
• How coming back to your body to make decisions that feel good to you can be very useful. 
• How you can honour your own space and time and come to peace with social media. 
• How important your core values are to your biz as a guiding North Star
