Welcome to another edition of The Biz Starter!

I'm OFFICIALLY BACK after taking a few days off!

I admit it was difficult to get back in the swing of things.

Wow, I'm so excited to be back. Meeting new clients last week and hopping on Discovery Calls has been AMAZING.

Last week, I worked with a client to position and monetize her business.

But here's the kicker – we didn't rely on cold DMs or outdated sales tricks.

Nope, our strategy was something simple yet powerful: building trust.

Let's face it: most people are hesitant to hit that buy button, even if you've got the solution to their dreams. Many think all they need to do is to increase their sales or grow a massive audience, but that's not the key to success in your business.

It's not about more followers; it's about more trust. 

Growing your business is a dance of consistency, authenticity, and positioning.

>>It's about being genuine while also being intentional.

Before building trust, you first need to decide whether to specialize in a niche or offer a variety of services so you can fine-tune your positioning.

See how positioning and building trust can future-proof your business in this week’s blog.

As always, thanks for reading. I predict good things for you in 2024! 😊
