So humans across all experience levels feel imposter syndrome.If you don't feel it one tiny bit, you're probably some sociopath out to kill everyone. Jokes.Okay, so it's real, yes. But should you let it get in the way of your vision and what you want to achieve?I don't think so.Especially if you're good at what you do.I think the challenge for a lot of folks is stepping into that discomfort and doing it anyway.So in this episode I share some stories that might give you some hope to break through your imposter syndrome.Plus some strategies I've used to help silence mine when it should naturally screaming in my ears. Let's dive in.============================Wanna see me in the flesh?!...Well, kinda. I mean in the virtual flesh.Fortunately I've got half decent head for radio and video. Oh and some generally good content if you're looking to swell your calendar with red-hot prospects.>>>You'll find my YouTube channel by clicking here.

Here's the thing about most marketing strategies...They pretty much all work. What I've found from myself (and with working with LOADS of biz owners)...Is that people normally give up before they've given the strategy a chance.Now if you use Facebook to generate leads...Chances are you've seen 2 step bait posts...A LOT. Why? Well, they're extremley effectife at stroking everyone's lizard brain.What I mean by that is...A good bait post knows how to trigger a primal want from the zombie scroller. The thing with these posts though is...You need to know how to follow up correctly in the DM's.How you open that first message is absolutely crucial. And if you do it the wrong way, don't expect anyone to reply or sign up or whatever.I once had a post with 200 comments, and only 4 followed through with what they asked for.It's all in that initial message and in this episode I walk you through what I've found is the right way to open that conversation.============================This episode is brought to you by our paid sponsonser that has nothing to do with the podcast...Lol. Kidding, it's brought to you by ME.Check out my YouTube channel where I talk about everything related to..How to get more customers, make more per customer, and keep them coming back with the power of the pen.I recently dropped a 3 part video series detailing line by line how a VSL I wrote for a client generated $50K.>>>Here's the link to that series playlist. 

Clickbait title?Perhaps.Epic news if you enjoy following on my journey...Absolutely.So I recently put down a deposit for something I've worked really hard towards the last 5 years.It's an exciting adventure I can't wait for you to be apart of and follow along with me.I still find it really hard to believe this thing is going through given my track record the last 5 years.Anyways, I have some exciting news. And if you work for yourself or work remotely...I think you'll find this episode enjoyable.Jules.=========================

So here's a fun fact.My first taste of hanging out with my dream customers happened at a live event.In the past I'd tried doing stuff with local business. Restaurants. Beauty salons etc.At this event...I had a taste of what it's like to mingle with coaches, consultants and course creators. And they were SO fun to hang out with. I knew they were my dream customer.Now flash forward 3 years, I'm glad I stuck with this niche.Soooo many times I could have just given up and decided to change to ecom or saas or something else completely.Today, I wanna give you some inspiration to stick with your vision you had to work with the initial dream customer you set out to serve. =====================================Something completely UNRELATED to today's podcast (but still highly relevant to growing your biz)..Is today's sponsor. Ahem (it's me).Today's sponsor is my YouTube channel! Where I show you how to..**Get more customers**Make more per customer**And keep them coming back with the power of the pen!

Why it might be affecting your productivity and what to do to fix it.Not rocket science. Just what's worked well for me.==================================================I'm on 50 Subs as we speak on YouTube! If you're looking to learn more of my secrets to help you get more customers.

Jules turned into a dad the last 3 weeks!Well, sorta.A family member tasked me with looking after their two 16 year olds (ambitious, I know).I thought this was going to be a breeze.(It was not)It made me really realise the importance of routine and how grossly lazy you can become if you let circumstances rule your routine.Not so much a business building today...More so recording the journey and some insights on productivity for ADD-esk folks like myself.==================================================Guess what?Woohoo!

Howdy!I had the privilege of killing two birds with one stone today (gotta love the efficiency).And I kept you in mind my loyal listener.I had someone ask me to present a pitch to them what I did as a list manager...Naturally, being a marketer, I couldn't resist turning this into a piece of content for later.While, this prospect didn't move forward 😢 - I had to opportunity to whip up a fresh case study.So this episode is perfect if you're wondering how to craft a good case study video.If you're a good student, you'll see the patterns I use.Lots of stories.Lots of proof.Lots of empathy towards the prospect.Pretty on brand with this podcast I thought.Alright, enough throat clearing and ego tire pumping. Let's get into it.=============================================Wanna see me in the flesh?!...Well, kinda. I mean in the virtual flesh.Fortunately I've got half decent head for radio and video. Oh and some generally good content if you're looking to swell your calendar with red-hot prospects.>>>You'll find my YouTube channel by clicking here.

I'm about 90 days into my new offer as an email list manager.It's been a fun ride and I've learned a ton in the process. At the beginning, I THOUGHT my copy and strategy had been kissed by some angels.The deals were flowing for my clients and I THOUGHT I was a genius.Well it turns out, if you add email marketing to a business (that wasn't really doing it) you're going to see something spectacular.But it's important you clarify this one thing with clients so that they keep coming back again & again.Otherwise, you'll burn the bridge and lose the client for good.===============================================================Liking this content?Make sure to check out my YouTube channel - where I go into more detail on how to get more customers, make more per customer and keep them coming back with the power of the pen.
