130 episodes

The beauty of starting your own business is that you can build it on your terms around a lifestyle that you design. But trying to build a business with strategies made for extroverts is a recipe for burnout.

This is the podcast built for service providers who are introverts and struggle with online marketing, mindset issues, and dealing with clients. I’ve been an online entrepreneur since 2007 and love helping introverts discover stress-free ways to build a successful business.

Each weekly episode will be full of actionable advice for using marketing strategies that are effective-like Pinterest, and email marketing, as well as creative ways to engage on Instagram and Facebook. These strategies will allow you to connect with clients and never make you wonder if you should just return to your old 9-5.
