    PS 50 You Are Your Trump Card!

    On Monday (episode 110), I talked about the key way to stand out in a crowded market - and this short episode supports it.
    Spoiler alert: the way to stand out in a crowded niche is to become your niche.
    And as I talk about in this 2 minute soundbite, that means remembering that you are your trump card.
    Enjoy :-)

    110 Standing Out In A Crowded Niche

    110 Standing Out In A Crowded Niche

    Do you ever feel like your niche is jam packed? Do you worry that there might not be enough room for you?
    Here's some good news.
    If there are loads of people doing what you're doing, it means there's a demand for it. And that means, there's no reason why you wouldn't attract clients too.
    But how? Why would someone choose you over someone else?
    Ready for the answer? It's super simple!
    By being your own niche.
    Listen to today's episode to know exactly how to do it.
    Enjoy :-)

    PS 49 Take A Day At A Time

    PS 49 Take A Day At A Time

    Ever tried to make resolutions and spectacularly failed? I have. That's why I don't do New Year's ones anymore.
    I never really thought about why I always break them. Just thought it was me.
    But this concept of taking one day at a time actually hit home.
    In this episode, I share an important lesson I learnt from a friend of mine, and how it has transformed how I make changes in my life and business.
    Enjoy :-)
