My Interview On The Authors Lab Podcast: How To Brand Yourself As A Problem Solver

Authors, Branding

We hire people to solve problems. We buy products we believe can solve our problem. With this in mind, what do you want to be known for? I dunno about you, but I want to be known as a problem solver.

Once you know what your niche needs, offer it to them. There are a few ways to do this. My Interview On The Authors Lab Podcast: How to Brand Yourself As A Problem Solver I had…

Dear Entrepreneur: Stop Being Your Own Worst Client

Tips and Tools

Imagine you had a coaching client who consistently failed to complete her tasks for the week. She couldn’t find the time to get her email opt-in page completed. Her kids' extracurricular activities kept her too busy to write the next chapter of her book. Time slipped by, and she was working too hard and completely forgot to put together her webinar presentation. It wouldn’t take long before you sat her down for a serious talk about the future of your coaching relationship—and her business. This kind of coaching client is a frustrating waste of time. Why, then, do you continue to accept these and other excuses from yourself?

Do Your Customers Love You Or Just Tolerate You?

Tips and Tools

For companies, getting customers to love you is the holy grail or marketing. You want a situation where they sing your praises from the rooftops (figuratively speaking) and refer other people to your brand. In today’s world, being genuinely loved by customers is a rarity. Consumers have so much choice about where they spend their money that they can be incredibly fickle. You know you’re loved when a competitor sets up shop next door, but your customers just keep coming back to you regardless. However, many brands slip into the trap of believing that being tolerated is the same as being loved. You see this all the time in business.

Authors, Blogging

So many people dream of being a published author. Far more than I ever realized! However, I notice so many people that have this dream, simply keep it as such, a dream. Why is this? What holds most would-be authors back from publishing? It’s not a lack of writing talent. It’s definitely not a lack of knowledge. And for sure it’s not a lack of desire. If you asked most people why they have not finished their book, the answer is simple: time. Entrepreneurs are busy people. You have clients to serve, a business to run, a family to care for.
