How do you show up for your clients?
One of the common threads that popped up last week was how to get noticed, or rather, how do I show up for my clients? These conversations led to discussions about landing pages, websites, and content for social media.

How well do you know your own brand?
The underlying reason you are in business resonates in everything you do – from the language you use to the images your choose.
Your brand is an extension of your business.
It is more than just a great logo and tagline, it is how people connect with you and how you can connect with people. And, if you are in business, creating your brand is marketing 101.
How well do you know your clients?

What are you working for?
I coach people from all walks of life and industry and most come to me as they are feeling overwhelmed with managing the business, family and their life; they are wanting to find ways to engage with their clients more, or they are looking to build a business from their passion and while they are great technicians and their side hustle is bringing them a good income, they are unsure about ‘business’.

Opportunity doesn’t always come with a bow
