When I started my business I left my nearly two-week intensive training and
felt on fire.....I felt like I could help everyone and every type of business there was.
Though technically I had the training to help any type of business create a profitable business, my mindset was completely wrong.
I'm one person, I can't help everyone. Nor do I want or need to.
See I struggled during the beginning of my business because my marketing and messaging was so broad that I wasn't really calling in my ideal audience and I almost quit.
I almost walk away from my life purpose to empower entrepreneurs to find the confidence and clarity in their personal brand and business by sharing their unique life story, all because I couldn't see how I was hurting my own business, by not niching down.
After 2+ years I walked away from the business coaching franchise I had been trained by and felt like a failure and that I wasn't worthy.
The worst part is I had lost thousands and thousands of dollars.
A few months later I sat down and journaled for hours and mapped out a plan for how I wanted to show up in the world. How I was going to be more of myself and stop watching what everyone else was doing and stop "shoulding" all over myself.
It was during that time that I was able to get super clear on my why, what I loved doing, what my skills are, what pieces of my story mattered and what I stand for that allowed me to create the niche structure that I use still to this day, 11 years later to support my dreams as well as my clients to create a revenue-generating business that they love all while working 30 hours a week or less with ease.
I know you want it too.
