Brand Builders Lab with Suz Chadwick Suz Chadwick

I'm getting real with you today about client management and dealing with those sticky situations that can come up when working with clients. This is a topic that comes up a lot in my own community and in the masterclasses I've been teaching, so I thought I'd share my thoughts and experiences to help you out.
We're chatting about:

Getting clear on your ideal client and the type of person you want to work with. What are your non-negotiables and boundaries? Naming and claiming your audience is like a filter that helps you attract the right people from the start.


Having a solid vetting process in place. Ask meaningful questions in your discovery calls that help you determine if a client is a good fit. Things like their goals, budget, past experiences, and willingness to take action.


Setting expectations early and often. Communicating clearly how you work, what you need from the client, and what they can expect from you. Putting it in writing and make sure you're constantly reiterating it throughout the relationship.


Being the leader in the relationship. You're the expert and it's up to you to guide the client and the project. Create a roadmap, set milestones, and keep them on track.

Working with clients you love and who are a great fit for you and your biz is the goal. It makes the whole process so much more fun and enjoyable. So take the time to set yourself up for success from the start.

 Today, I want to dive into a topic that I absolutely love talking about - creating higher level thinking. This is something I discuss with my Amplify Mastermind clients and it's all about pushing yourself to think bigger, develop unique thought leadership, and come up with your own concepts and ideas that challenge your clients' thinking.
If you've been in business for a while and want to be seen as a leader in your industry, it's crucial to keep evolving your thinking and how you talk about what you do. Constantly learning and growing is key to differentiating yourself and standing out from the crowd.
We're chatting about:
Constantly evolving your thinking and how you talk about what you do to differentiate yourself.
Using the seven pillars of thought leadership to develop higher level thinking.
Asking yourself what you've learned and heard that's new, and how you can bring it together uniquely.
I believe that the more you create, the more you're able to create. It's like exercising a muscle - if you don't use it, it gets weaker. But if you're always curious about what you do and how you talk about it, you'll keep evolving in the market.

Today, I want to talk about something that's been on my mind lately - comparison-itis. You know, that feeling when you're scrolling through social media and you start comparing yourself to others? Yeah, we've all been there.
The other day, I shared a reel about money management and someone left a comment saying that they don't look at their financials because they always end up comparing themselves to others. That got me thinking about how comparison can really kill your business (and your joy).
First off, I want to say that comparing ourselves to others is totally natural, especially when we're working in the digital space. We're constantly seeing what everyone else is doing online. But here's the thing - if we don't deal with comparison quickly and intentionally, it can seriously damage our confidence and hold us back from growing our businesses.
So, what can we do about it?
We're chatting about a few things that have helped me: 
Acknowledging the comparison
Curating your space
Focusing on your own journey 
We get to choose what we consume and how we react to it. So, let's be intentional about catching those comparison thoughts and replacing them with proactive, positive ones.

Sometimes we have this feeling that we want to uplevel our business, create better systems and strategies, and have better sales, but we're not really sure what steps to take.
It's important to give yourself the time and space to think strategically about what you want to do, how you're going to do it, when, and what it will look like. Today I'm sharing how I'm upleveling my business and share some ideas on how you can do the same.
We're chatting about: 
Tech Upgrades

Take a step back and assess what areas of your business you want to uplevel. What needs to happen, what actions do you need to take, and what's the timeframe? Be decisive in your business and make those changes happen. Trust me, it's worth it!

Is the quality and quantity of what you're putting out there getting you the results you want? This topic came up after a conversation with someone in my community, and it got me thinking. In this episode, I talk about the truth about quantity and quality when it comes to your business. 
We're chatting about: 
Assess if the quantity and quality of your content is getting you the results you want.
Don't limit yourself when you have ideas to share. Create and publish when you feel inspired.
Find a balance between quality and quantity that works for you and your goals.
Be honest with yourself about whether you're willing to put in the extra work to reach your dreams.
Remember, it's not about hustling or burning out. There's a middle ground where you can potentially double your revenue, clients, and impact. But if you're already putting in the work and not seeing results, it's time to reassess the quality of your content and messaging.
So, let's get out of our own way and start showing up in a bigger way.
