What would you do if someone called you, or your brand, polarising? Would you be offended, or would you wear it like a badge of honour? I don’t think many people would be over the moon at being called polarising, but in my opinion, it’s a huge compliment. In fact, it can be the best thing to happen to your brand. Being called polarising — no matter how insulting it might feel — gives you a major advantage in your space, if you use it wisely.

Here I  share with you 5 ways that being polarising can actually blow-up your brand… for the better. 

In this episode, I cover: 
My experience with being called polarising Why we're nervous to be ourselves Getting more attention Standing out from the competition Attracting your dream clientsBuilding a loyal AF following Communicate confidence and convictionMaking loads more moneyDon't forget to head to bossycreative.com to download 62 Ways to Make Brands Your Bitch.

I’m here to tell you you DON’T need to be a professional copywriter or even a natural writer to DIY your copy. Of course, hiring a professional is easier, but it’s expensive, so if you’re not there yet, I’ve got some tips that will hopefully help you to write confident, effective and on-brand copy in the meantime. These are the mistakes that I see ALL the time when it comes to copy, and the biggest traps that I fell into... before I knew what I was doing. 
It’s not always going to be easy to write your own copy — and you will stare at the blinking cursor a lot — but if you can at least focus on avoiding these mistakes, you’ll be so much better off.

Until now. 
These goals are like mini challenges — some will require effort, time or courage — but all of them are designed to help you level up your business or finally achieve something you’ve been putting off.
