NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

“Pivot is my favorite word. It is this permission to pivot every day, literally every hour, every minute. You don’t feel like it? Pivot. This is the thing about entrepreneurship, we are free! We are free to pivot.”

“I think a lot of people with their marketing strategy, they actually forget to do marketing. They take you from a cold lead straight to a sales page and that’s like asking somebody you just met to move in with you on the first date. There’s been no warm-up, there’s been no foreplay, like nothing, and you’re expecting me to buy from you?”

“That would be my advice: One, jam out to your own music, please. And Two, how can you bring more of you and breathe more of your value and unique gifts into what you’re offering and what you’re doing? That makes it like your own niche like you’re your own niche. There’s no one else.”

“It’s about giving what you get, and the more consistently you show up. It’s your choice. If you show up and host five reels a week that are heartfelt, and vulnerable and valuable, that’s what you’re gonna get back on social media.”

“Pay attention to what’s alive and what setting you alive because I see this in my clients over and over and over again, the idea that is so frickin alive in them is the one that goes viral. Every time.”
