Marketing You with Heather Picken

by // 2 Comments

Do you believe in yourself?

Does believing in yourself seem easy or is it something you struggle with?

How many times do we doubt ourselves?

Do you ever find yourself saying – Am I smart enough?  Do I know enough?  Will people listen to me? Will people buy my product?

These and many other questions are some of the question we can face as an entrepreneurs.  An overcoming the fear as well as learning to embrace who we are is one of the single biggest challenges as well as the cornerstone of real success in business.

When it comes to marketing the #1 thing we need to understand is that You Are Your Brand.  In fact the truth is that YOU ARE YOUR BRAND!

In the end we buy people before we buy things.  This is especially true on social media.  Your future clients are already forming an opinion of us based on how we present ourselves.  There aren’t necessarily any wrong answers IF we are being consistent and genuine.  The authentic you coming across on social media WILL connect you to people like you and in the end these are the kind of people we want to work with and authenticity is the place we should want to operate from as a business.

So with that in mind today host Steve Kidd is joined by social media expert Heather Picken.  Heather is going to help us understand how to present ourselves on social media for the greatest and most authentic impact and allow us to live as a Thriving Entreprenue

Learning to Reach out for Help with Breast Friends

by // Leave a Comment

You own a business.  What do we do when a crisis comes?

When issues come up do you avoid it? We hope that maybe if we don’t deal with it then maybe, just maybe, it will just go away. We should reach out.  it is the more empowering thing to do.  it is also the MOST TERRIFYING, especially when it is something major.  When a major calamity comes into our lives we tend to feel all alone.  We dont approach the issue head on.  We dont see all the people that are there to help us.  Isolation is a normal reaction to a personal crisis.

What we must learn is that in order to truly take on lifes more difficult issues we need to face it. And for that we need help!

When we come to a place of willingness.  Once we embrace and accept help from others and see that there are people who love us.  Then both survival and thriving can begin.

Our minds tell us we don’t want to be a burden.  And sometimes we are even afraid we will be rejected if we ask for help. The truth is that our true strength comes when we bring all of us to everything we do. But also when we accept the fact that we can never go it alone in this live.  Truly living is about be part of the world around us. We need to contribute but we need to also allow others to pour their talents and love into us.  This becomes the most true when we learn to ask for help when we need it.  The reaching out to others actually makes us stronger.

So go ahead no matter how dark the hour maybe accept right now that there are people who want to help!

Steve Kidd is joined by two amazing ladies who help women during perhaps one of the most difficult and frightening things that can happen in life – being diagnosed with breast cancer. Their organization gives help and support not only to women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer but also to their families and support system.
