Know your common thread :: Do Love Daily (video)

A few months ago, I had a bit of an identity crisis. I looked back on the companies I’d worked for, the ventures I started, the client work I’d done, and I thought: Who am I? After I got over being dramatic, I asked myself, more specifically:

What drives me to do all of these things? How on earth can I connect the dots between these things?

The answer was simpler than I thought. 

In this video, I reveal the common thread running along all projects and people I get involved with. Watch it to see what my common thread is and more importantly, how you can determine yours!

So…drumroll…

What’s your common thread? (Tweet this.)

Attract your next customer with these five words :: Do Love Daily (video)

As a marketing consultant, I had occasions when I wondered where my next client would come from. In fact, my Sh*t Freelancers Say video harped on this concern.

If you’re a business owner, you may be wondering the same thing:

How do I attract a new batch of customers? What can I do to find my next client?

And if you’re in the planning or concept phase of your business, you may be concerned about the demand for your goods and services and wonder:

Are people interested in what I have to offer?

Something I learned when building a business around my passion is: It’s important to build a business that you love, but it’s vital to build a business others love, too. (Tweet this.)

So, how do you ensure your business is serving others?

In today’s Do Love Daily video, I share the five words that will attract your next customer or client and ensure that you’re addressing their needs with your business. And if you’re in the concept phase of your business, these five words will help you determine whether there is a need or not.

What did I struggle with as an aspiring entrepreneur? :: Two Girls | One Tip Tuesday

I had the opportunity to speak with Coach Jennie, Co-Founder of Hungry Entrepreneurs, a new community for entrepreneurs teetering between launch and bankruptcy. I met Coach Jennie during our GenJuice Tour summer 2010, and I’m so lucky to still call her a friend!

I really enjoyed answering the questions:

  1. What is something I struggled with as a hungry entrepreneur? Not sticking to my strengths and being honest about the work I wanted to do. When I first started consulting, I looked at the market and let that determine the services I offered, instead of sticking to my natural talents. Once I “returned to my roots,” I was able to overdeliver to my clients and position myself as a more premium product as a result.
  2. What is one super, juicy tip guaranteed to put food on the table of hungry entrepreneurs? Address these 3 assumptions ASAP (ideally in your first 30 days): 1) Someone will use my product, 2) Love it, and 3) Pay for it. Perform customer development by interviewing prospective customers and making necessary revisions to your product offering.

Check out the video for additional tips (such as “Do what you love out loud.”)

What tips do you have for the Hungry Entrepreneurs community?
