I teach entrepreneurs and small business owners how to define their niche, find simple words to describe what they do, and feel confident when they express their brilliance. As a former TV and radio reporter for CBS News, my job was to walk into chaos, uncover the story, then tell it in 30 seconds. I was really good at it. I do that now with my clients so that they can find words that attract their ideal clients and earn da monies. My mission is that all people own and express their brilliance. The world is listening for you.

Happy New Year, Reader! This is the part where we all think about what's next, what's new, what we want to commit to or create for a new year. Between you and me, I kind of like the idea of having a fresh start (even if time is a made-up construct LOL). Shorten your message. Be specific. Speak plainly. Do it a lot. What people never want or need
What people actually want, for real reals Something specific like
What you'll get from using the right, fewer words ⚡️ People will understand what you offer and know you're the one to hire to help them solve their problem. ⚡️ Your message will be aligned everywhere: your website, your social media posts, all the places where you want to be seen and found. ⚡️ Want referrals? You'll get the right ones if your buddies know the specific solution you provide to a specific problem. 🔥 Start 2026 fresh with a clear message Reader: Dare to say it plainly, with no hesitation, with confidence, so that you connect from your heart to the people who need you, like a real person speaking truthfully. That's what you want, right? ✍🏻 Reply and lemme know if you're exhausted from trying to simplify your message alone. |

Hi Reader! You know what I love? Attending webinars and trainings where people talk about the problems they have in the area where I can help them. I attended a couple of webinars today about marketing and sales and realized - again - how hard it is for business owners to focus their niche. Both presenters talked about the importance of having a clear, specific niche and target audience. Here's one attendee's comment that I'll use as an avatar for anyone who's afraid to "niche down": It's...
Hi Reader!"How do I explain what I do quickly without over-explaining or confusing people?”. I hear this question constantly from my audience. Here's how Bad Bunny did it in his 13-minute Super Bowl halftime show. His performance was a masterclass in how to answer that question.
