Update: 2 month lay off update ... financials.
I promised you a full look behind the curtain... here we go... "Is she crazy? Why is she showing us her income?" Cause that's how I roll. I wish more entrepreneurs shared their actual numbers. The good months, the slow months, and everything in between. Quick reminder, I run two businesses: 1. Marketing consulting for small and midsize businesses. I've intentionally chosen to work with just one client right now, bringing in $4,666/month. 2. CMO Growth Guide, where I help solopreneurs start and grow their businesses. This is my lower-ticket business, with offers ranging from $47 to $497. Here's what my monthly revenue has looked like: ✅ While still working in corporate: averaging $1,500/month ✅ September: $5,158 ✅ October: $7,043 ✅ November: We'll see! About six years ago, I built a similar business and made six figures in my first year as a marketing consultant and coach. I'd love to repeat that. And then? The next goal is $300K a year. Will I get there? Will I change my goal? I have no idea.

ChatGPT is being cute
ChatGPT took a page out of Google's book. Check out their seasonal "wait" images... Cute!

Do you know your differntiator?
I was just working with a client on finding theirs. They sounded EXACTLY like all their competitors. So we needed to dig a bit deeper. Here's an AI prompt you can get started with finding your differentiator: Find My Differentiation What this helps with: Finding real reasons someone might choose you that go beyond “I care more.” Copy + paste: Here is my business: [DESCRIBE BUSINESS] Here is my background: [DESCRIBE BACKGROUND] Here are the alternatives or competitors I know about: [LIST THEM] Identify possible ways I could differentiate based on: - My experience - My point of view - Who I serve - The problem I solve - How I deliver the service - The result - My process - My personality or working style Separate meaningful differentiation from generic claims like: - High quality - Personalized service - Great customer service - Passion - Years of experience Give me 5 positioning directions worth exploring.

Im going to start leaning into the fact I stayed in the workroom for most of my career, rather than higher up roles. Not only has it given me years of technical experience that I can draw on, its given me the chance to practice training others.
