    90: Why You’re Posting Everywhere but Still Not Getting Leads

    Many creative entrepreneurs are doing everything they’re told to do. They’re posting on Instagram, showing up on LinkedIn, sending emails, networking, and still wondering why the results don’t match the effort. In this episode of the ICONIK CEO Podcast, Nikisha King breaks down a truth most people skip over when it comes to lead generation: the problem often isn’t visibility, it’s who you’re talking to. This conversation dives into the Identify Your People phase of the R.I.S.E. framework and explains why your message can feel like it’s floating in the air, heard by everyone and landing with no one. When your visibility isn’t focused, your content becomes easy to scroll past, even when it’s valuable. Nikisha explains how lead generation improves when entrepreneurs stop performing for “everyone” and start connecting deeply with the right people. This episode reframes identifying your audience, not as limiting your business, but as anchoring your message so it finally lands. If your content feels inconsistent, your engagement feels low, or inquiries don’t reflect the work you’re putting in, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening and how to shift it. Questions that are answered in this episode: Why posting more doesn’t automatically create more leads?How unclear messaging keeps you invisible, even when you’re showing up?What it really means to “identify your people” beyond demographics?Why emotional and behavioral clarity creates stronger connections?How focused visibility turns content into conversations, and conversations into clients?

    89: Why You’re Not Getting More Leads And What Visibility Has to Do With It

    Many wedding and event professionals are doing all the “right” things, posting consistently, offering value, and showing up, yet their lead generation still feels slow, inconsistent, or nonexistent. In this episode, Nikisha King explores a truth most people never talk about: lead generation issues are often rooted in self-judgment and visibility, not strategy. When solopreneurs feel judged by others or by themselves, they unconsciously hide parts of who they are. And when parts of you are hidden, your message doesn’t fully land. This conversation breaks down how internal narratives, identity suppression, and fear of being seen quietly block connection with the very people you’re meant to serve. Nikisha shares how visibility begins with revealing your authentic self, not performing a version of who you think you “should” be. This episode isn’t about posting more or doing more. It’s about being more visible in the ways that actually convert. Questions This Episode Answers:Why am I not getting consistent leads?How do I increase lead generation without burning out?Why does showing up online feel uncomfortable?How does visibility actually impact sales and inquiries?What’s blocking people from connecting with my message? No More Sitting On Your Hands:If this episode helped you see where fear or self-judgment may be holding you back, the next step is action.

    88: Why Your Business Isn’t Getting Seen And How to Become More Visible in 2026

    So many women entrepreneurs feel invisible, not just online, but in their lives, their work, and their stories. For anyone who has ever wondered why their business isn’t getting the attention it deserves, why their voice feels muted, or why their presence seems overlooked, this episode offers clarity, resonance, and relief. In this intimate conversation, Nikisha opens up about the invisible seasons of her life, the childhood experiences that shaped her identity, the pressure of being the “good immigrant daughter,” and the silent expectation to shrink. These early narratives often follow women into adulthood, into entrepreneurship, and into how boldly they allow themselves to be seen. Listeners will hear the truth behind why visibility feels so uncomfortable for so many women and why staying small can feel safer than stepping forward. More importantly, the episode explores how to shift that narrative. Visibility is not about ego, it is about alignment, confidence, and claiming the space each woman deserves to occupy. For those wrestling with the fear of being misunderstood, judged, or not enough, this episode illuminates where those feelings come from and how to rise beyond them. This conversation serves as a bridge, from who women have been told to be, to the powerful, visible leaders they are finally ready to become. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode:Why am I not getting more leads in my business?Why does showing my face online feel uncomfortable?How do I get comfortable being visible?Why do I feel overlooked compared to other entrepreneurs?How do I build confidence in my identity and message?What does “visibility” actually mean in business, and where do I start? If this episode opened something inside you, don’t sit with the awareness alone. Step into aligned action.
