There is 1 thing most of my past students or clients have done wrong. Well, actually including myself.
Let's talk about nr.1 asset you need to grow your online business.
No, it's not your website. It's not even your super compelling and incredible content. It's not your vanity metrics and followers. And... NO it's not how regularly you show up, either.
They all are great and obviously help, but they are NOT the nr.1
So let’s talk about the most important asset, to grow your online business.

Do you change your colours, fonts and other visuals every second month or so? Do you have shiny object syndrome and can't find a way to stick to something? Do you wish you would be more consistent with it?
WANT TO KNOW THE REAL REASON WHY IT IS HAPPENING?
YES?
Ok, then you are in the right place!
It’s difficult to put any plan into action when you don’t understand why you are doing it.
You need to understand why consistent visuals matters. Also, train your team to know the same so they see the value in consistent brand positioning.

Concept of being simultaneously attractive and repulsive to specific people is called polarisation. And this is what we will talk about today.
By definition, Polarising is to force something or someone to go in only one direction, or to cause people to divide into two very distinct groups.
When you share something when you open up and participate in discussions. There will be people who will dig in and really understand it and be like "wow, thank you for being you as now I can be me", it is like permission to be yourself. You will also have an equal amount of haters aka people who have different world views and opinions.
Probably you experience this on some bigger or smaller level.
How do we deal with it as a business owner? How to show up?

See you in the next one.
When we think branding, it is tempting to imagine all those pretty visuals and get excited about the colours and logo, but there is a lot of groundwork before that.
In this episode we will talk about the difference between internal and external branding, we also will discuss what comes first and why it is important.
My intention with this podcast episode is clarity. Clarity on your Branding means more confidence, better first impressions and more the right-fit customers. So that is why I want to to feel crystal clear about this.
When you do this right you have a business that creates opportunities, opens doors and takes you to places you could dream of. One that gives you choice, freedom and respect.
Branding is about managing what people expect, experience and remember about your business, so it makes sense to go deep on this one.

Did you know it takes your ideal clients one-tenth of a second to decide if they can trust you or not?
First impressions matter more than you think.
On your website, on your social media profiles. Even when you are just interacting with others in comments. It all matters.
What do you think? How many people have checked out your profile today? Did they found what they were searching for? Did they clearly understood what you do and for who?
This means that people have already decided on what you’re like before you’ve said anything before even you have talked.

When I talk about Pinterest with my clients, I hear a lot of questions.
Starting from obvious ones: “How the hell do I make money with Pinterest?”, “Isn’t it just for Women?”, What’s a Pin?” and finishing with “How do I make sure I don’t waste my time with Pinterest?” and “What if it doesn’t work?”
Pinterest is a huge opportunity to generate traffic, signups, registrations, sales and revenue for you, your products, services and solutions that you offer through your website.
On 2020, where there are crazy algorithms going on, Pinterest is online marketing heaven.
