When we talk about your “brand” we often relate your brand to the value you bring to your clients and customers, which is very important.

However, your brand is also a reflection of you as a person. Who you are is an integral part of your brand.

Happy National Entrepreneurs’ Day!

As creative solopreneurs, many of us may think that the three “super selling days” that officially kick off the holiday selling season may not apply to us, but nothing could be further from the truth!

Season 1, Episode #2 October 19, 2022

Your journey as a solopreneur is one that may feel lonely and uncertain at times. Once you launch your business, there's no boss to turn to for advice or direction.

Throughout all three of my careers, as an educator, as a corporate and direct sales leader, and now as a solopreneur, I have benefitted from mentors who contributed to my success in all three of those endeavors.

Mentors come in all forms, including people who have been where you are now, and people who are experiencing the same now as you are.

Instead of learning only by research and by trial and error, having mentors gives you regular and ongoing sources of valuable information, a listening ear, and relevant experience.
