Have you ever asked a client for a testimonial, only to be told to ‘keep it anonymous’ or to be turned down altogether?   Or how about that colleague that you see getting tagged by all her clients on LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram with rave reviews? Even though you do equally good work and your clients rave to you in private, you can’t seem to get people to admit out loud that they worked with you. Or here is my not-so-favorite: getting called the ‘best-kept secret’ or the ‘secret weapon’. Let me tell you, I can sooooo relate.   Back in 2015, I literally had LOADS of private messages from clients thanking me for our work. Some of them were …

  My client was on the phone, voice trembling. She had hired me because she had a creative business project that she wanted to launch to her community but had been resisting it for TWO YEARS! “I feel so bored with my business and like I don’t even know who I am or what I stand for anymore.

I was at that show last night and wanted to buy a t-shirt but all you had was small and medium, what gives man?” Tony replied, “you should have asked! I had other sizes in the back”. BAM.  I sat there absorbing that for a few seconds and then had a lightbulb moment around it. You should have asked. That guy walked up to the table, …

I had a conversation last year with a potential client that broke my heart.  She had a business that was doing okay. But she knew it was time to go bigger.  To be seen by even more people.  And yet, she had been three years in this stuck, humdrum kind of feeling about her business. That’s a long time to be feeling that way.  And it’s actually dangerous to allow yourself to stay stuck or in a repetitive pattern for that long.   Why? Because the longer you stay in that place of limbo, the more your confidence erodes. And the more your energy drains.  Over time you become complacent and you lose your faith that anything could ever change.  You …
