If your business doesn’t have many (or any!) sales or clients, that’s definitely a challenge, and the issue is probably in your marketing – and it may also be your mindset.
In this episode, we continue with last week’s topic by addressing more of your marketing issues and concerns. We have technical suggestions and strategic corrections as always, and we also dig into the fears that are holding you back.
We heard from folks who are afraid of failure and also a few who are afraid of success. Either way, it’s a fear of moving forward, and we have straightforward suggestions for managing both.
Folks also had concerns about marketing budgets, which brought us to ask more questions and offer practical answers about business start-up money, both where to get it and where to spend it.
So, if you want to bring in more business, listen in for: how to handle the fears that are holding you back, what a prima ballerina can teach you about confidence, where to find clarity about your ideal customer, whether or not you need to hire a publicist, why media people are deleting your emails, and your entire digital marketing plan boiled down to one sentence … and more!
If you’re struggling to get the word out about your business schedule a Private Deep Dive Session with us and we’ll help you figure out where to invest your time and your money.
