Marketing feels hard, because it is hard

And especially because it’s never just marketing; especially when you’re a solo, creative business owner doing your own thing, your own way!

In this season of Personal Business, we are exploring some of the not-so obvious factors that absolutely have an affect on your ability and capacity to show up, market, sell and grow your business.

Click on the cards below to explore each topic, get to know the featured guests and reflect on your own relationship with each one.

Watch for the ✨ emoji on each spread, that’s when you’re going to want to grab your journal and do some reflection.

Thank you for listening, I’m so glad you’re here.
