In this episode, we’re flipping the usual branding conversation on its head. Instead of asking who you are, we’re asking—what are you not? Knowing what your business doesn’t do, who you don’t serve, and what you won’t stand for is just as important as defining what you do. It helps you stay on track with your business mission and helps you create a stronger, more focused brand that connects deeply with the right people.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to appeal to everyone or say yes to everything, this episode is your permission slip to draw clear lines and own your niche.

Does the thought of ‘sales’ make you feel icky?
Do you avoid sales because you think your amazing products and services will speak for themselves?
In this episode we talk about why sales can feel ‘icky’. Why sales is an essential part of business ownership and by not doing it well you are not only limiting your own business success and revenue opportunities, but you are also letting down thousands of customers who would benefit so greatly from what you have to offer. By the end of this episode I want you to think of sales in a completely new light. You can be like me and learn to love it.
