281 - The #1 Skill All Business Owners Need to Develop
Let’s talk about the one skill you absolutely MUST develop as a business owner - especially now, in this economic environment.
It’s not a trendy hack or secret formula - it’s something powerful, practical, and completely learnable.
I’ve noticed that many women building a business try to sidestep this skill because it pushes them out of their comfort zone. They feel uncertain, maybe even a little scared.
But if you don’t do it, you’ll never get your business out of first gear.
And unfortunately that’s the reality for so many - why their business remains a side hustle even after years of effort. And … why the small biz failure rate is so high!
Ok, let’s get down to businesses
In this episode we’ll bust the myths around what it means to “do marketing” and why you don’t need to be an extroverted, pushy promoter to set your business up for real success.
Here’s what you’ll hear more about:
-
Why directing your own marketing strategy is non-negotiable - and what happens if you try to hand it off to someone else.
-
What truly matters in your marketing, from positioning and offers, to focusing on the right people (not just anyone with a pulse).
-
How to build a simple, clear pathway that takes potential clients from “never heard of you” all the way to “raving fan”
-
Why copying someone else’s strategy will never work for your unique business, and what to do instead.
-
How you can create a system for your business that feels easy, not exhausting - even if “marketing” usually gives you the chills.
If you’ve ever wished marketing could feel natural and aligned (and actually get you the clients you want), this episode is for you.
