The eyelift smelled like cucumbers, went on smoothly and caused no irritation. It also includes aloe and Vitamin E.

If you try it, let me know what you think. 😊

I read this somewhere recently, "Your 'duh' is som I read this somewhere recently, "Your 'duh' is someone else's 'aha'."

We've been at this a long time. We're experts. So if we don't know one statistic or one new trend, it feels like maybe we're not as smart as we think we are.

But people who are just getting into our field of expertise know virtually nothing. We're feeling bad about ourselves because we are trying to figure out the best way to teach calculus, but they just want addition.

I remember volunteering to give complimentary, 15-min marketing coaching sessions for an event. I was soooo scared. 😨

Yes, I already had an MBA in marketing strategy. 

Yes, I had already produced results for clients.

But I was worried that if I couldn't build their entire marketing plan in those 15 minutes, they'd think I was a fraud. Imposter syndrome, anyone?

In every session, the business owners were at square one. They were excited to get foundational marketing knowledge from me about choosing a target market, understanding their features vs. benefits and ways they could show up online. What felt like basic information to me was business changing for them. 

Remember, our clients aren't expecting us to turn them into experts overnight. We just need to give them the foundation and build from there.

You know more than enough to share. Get started.

Before you hit launch on that website or start pos Before you hit launch on that website or start posting your social media content, make sure you have a solid marketing strategy behind it.

Writiting generic copy like, "My company curates luxury experiences for top tier clients" won't fly. For all we know you offer event planning for Fortune 500 companies or maybe it's travel concierge services for entrepreneurs or private shopping for busy moms or something else entirely. πŸ€”

Before you go heavy into execution, back up and ask yourself these questions:

βœ… WHO: Who is my ideal client specifically, and am I speaking their language? Is the market big enough to sustain me? 

βœ… WHAT: What benefit or transformation am I offering them through my product or service? Does my price reflect this? 

βœ… WHEN: When can they get it - anytime, only when I'm available, only on a specific date?

βœ… WHERE: Where can they get it - online, in person, their home, multiple locations?

βœ… WHY: Why is my product or service needed right now? Is the pain point my offer addresses clear?

βœ… HOW: How will I fulfill the product or service and keep them coming back?

βœ… BONUS: Are you mentally prepared to put yourself out there and all it entails? Don't forget the mindset work.

Yes, I know that's A LOT, but your business needs a solid foundation to be successful. 

If you need help, I'm here. Just reach out via the link in my bio for a discovery call. I've been in marketing for almost 20 years working with brands ranging in revenue from $0 (startups) to over $1 billion.

Whether you want to craft the plan together or hand it off to me completely, I'll make sure you're put in front of the right audience with the right message at a price that makes sense. And we'll do it in a way that helps silence your inner critic and avoids burnout.

Then, once you do release your marketing materials, they'll hit the target. 🎯
