Your pores will ooze cortisol as a solopreneur if you don’t build a strong community: it's why I keep going 2 years ago I became a biz owner. Zero clients. No defined niche. Plus no like-minded community. Selling my soul to low-paying clients on freelance marketplaces. Only to end up resenting the work I was doing. I knew there had to be better for me: 🤌 Higher-paying clients 🤌 Doing work that deeply fulfilled me 🤌 Projects that didn't take hours for low pay So as a chronically online girly, I took to finding a social platform where I could connect with people in the same boat as me. Thought about Instagram but was too nervous to post video content. Played with Twitter but it wasn't my cup of tea. (they're another breed over there) Then I decided to give LinkedIn a try despite my fear of it being too corporate. And BOY was I happy to be wrong. LinkedIn is where all the cool and supportive business owners hang out. We have a few obnoxious gurus in the LinkedIn world too 🤭 but it's an AMAZING platform overall. During my time here I have learned so much about: → Building a successful sustainable business → Connecting with so many lovely people → Landed one super sweet client LinkedIn is the place to be if you want to learn to listen to your heart, grow your business, and make the BEST friends along the way... As well as keep those cortisol levels low 😉 P.S. How has building a community helped you on your solo biz journey?

Hey Entrepreneur! If looking for more clients is your top priority as a small business owner, that is a problem. While getting more business is certainly great, you should never NEED new clients. In fact, I’d say your top priority should be to figure out how to make sure this isn’t your most important issue. What this really tells me is that you don’t have a client problem, you have a business problem. Here are the true issues you must address: -Mistake 1: Your offers aren’t compelling enough. Remember that 80% of your sales happens BEFORE any contact with you because your prospects are lurking in stealth mode. -Mistake 2: You don’t have a good sales system. If your idea of sales is to wait until prospects reach out, you don't have killer sales materials, or you never follow up, you are going to be sorely disappointed! -Mistake 3: Your personality is off-putting. Yep, I said it. If you show up arrogantly or negatively or your life is a mess, you repel prospects. -Mistake 4: Your profiles are confusing. Title says one thing, website, skills, about section, or services page tells a different story. -Mistake 5: You change your ideal buyer too often. Monday is Small Business Owners, Tuesday is Influencers, etc. Pick a lane. P.S. Make sure all your activities center around the ideal buyer too! This is a very common issue I see here on LinkedIn. Mistake 6: You are barely visible. No one knows you so how can you expect prospects to find you? You need an incredible marketing strategy. I happen to know someone who can help. 😇 Mistake 7: You lack belief in yourself so you stay busy with backend tasks like your email newsletter or website instead of putting yourself out there to sell and build your brand. If any of these points resonate, you are my people. I can help with all of these issues via these offers: 🎖️ Join my paid community (best investment ever) 🎖️ Check out my amazing courses (lifetime access) 🎖️ Inquire about my 1:1 services (limited spots) 🎖️ Join my 3x3 Business Growth Challenge (5/14-5/16) All details are in my Featured section or DM me. 👉🏻 In the meantime, if you aren’t yet ready to solve the problems, you can always get more FREE tips by following me and ringing my bell! 🔔

In business, boredom is a sign of efficiency and success. And if your business runs like clockwork, it'll outlast the competition. Steady (or increasing) MRR Consistent messaging Predictable lead flow Solid sales process High retention rate Excellent service I know because a year ago, I failed at half of the list above. My messaging was scattered-brained. I didn't know where leads were coming from. I lacked belief in my processes. (tough lessons learned) But the best thing I gained from that experience was the power of building a personal brand and what it takes: Know what you stand for and against. Focus on consistency across the board. And your customers should be the most exciting part about it. Let's break this into two parts. Part 1: Build amazing products Provide excellent service Practice what you preach Focus on daily actions to create this reality. Part 2: Be authentic Define what makes you unique Engage with your target audience Craft a consistent online presence And creating content that pulls your ideal client in like a magnet. It's the fuel that powers your brand machine. Want help turning your content into a predictable lead engine? 1) Follow me for more. 2) I'll craft a free LinkedIn post for the next 3 people who ask (link at the top of my profile)
