Things I’ve heard often in the last few months: ✅ Leads are ghosting you ✅ Attention spans are non-existent ✅ No one’s responding on social media ✅ AI is taking over the content game and adding even more noise in an already noisy space If marketing and sales are feeling hard because of everything I listed above, if you feel like you’re not getting any attention in the midst of endless noise, it’s tempting to respond by trying to be the noisiest person in the room. ✅ More content, more channels, more more more. What if I told you I disagree? That I believe the best answer for most of you is to twist while they turn. Don’t get louder to get try and get noticed. Go deeper and make sure you’re noticed.

I'm here helping service-based professionals (I see you creatives, service providers, agency owners...) build stable, sustainable businesses that profit in all the right ways, including energy and time. I talk a lot about sequence over strategy - that doing things in the right order is more important than nailing any particular strategy. I also talk about the difference between relationship and traffic marketing - and how to exit the relying on referral rollercoaster.
