Are you making it clear that you're available to work with or hire? As a service-based business owner, your social media presence is your "open for business" sign.  This is how potential clients know they can pay you.

A common (and sneaky) mistake I see happening all over Instagram is business owners not making it super clear that they're available or how clients can work with them. This is leaving money on the table and your followers unsure on their next steps.

I'm breaking it all down in this Most Valuable Podcast episode (originally episode #5!) and telling you exactly what to do to "fix" your open sign and make sure it's always turned on for new and current followers!

Tune in today's episode to learn how to:

• Clearly tell people you're available in 3 steps
• Not have just an inspirational or informational feed
• Make clear offers on social media
• Change your mindset around making offers and selling regularly

If selling and promoting your services on social media makes you feel icky and spammy, you're not alone.

It's totally normal. We aren't born sales people.

But instead of working on the skills of selling and the mindset around selling, I see a lot of people either (1) avoid it totally or (2) secretively sell (aka disguise they're actually trying to sell something)

I've been guilty of both.  This is why I've worked so much on my own beliefs around selling. Feeling salesy isn't fun, but running a business without selling is really hard too. There's a solution.


Tune into today's episode to learn:

• How to know if and why you're trying to disguise your selling on social media
• How to normalize promoting and selling your services... even if you're scared now
• What the most valuable posts are for your local audience

This week I’m diving into something that affects so many local business owners all over... your location.

Whether you live in a small town or big city or whether you have a physical location or no location - you likely have thoughts about where you're located and what results are possible for you.

Location Drama is any negative thoughts you have about your location. It's when you blame your location for your results OR you think certain bigger results are impossible because of where you're located.

Join me as I walk you through how to identify your location drama and how to work through it so you can ultimately create success no matter where you're located.
