33. From Random Posts to Real Authority: 4 Steps to Build Your Body of Work
Does marketing yourself feel like an endless tornado of tactics? You’re not alone. If you’ve ever stared at LinkedIn wondering what to post—while others seem to be landing big speaking gigs, publishing books, and becoming known—you’re in the right place.
In this episode, I’m sharing a clear, 4-step process to help you stop chasing tactics and start building something bigger than your next post: a body of work.
Having gone from struggling with what to share to a 3x bestselling author, in-demand expert, and podcast host: I'll teach you what it actually means to create content that builds momentum over time, helps you find your voice, and brings your favorite clients straight to your door.
✨ If you want to grow your visibility and simplify your marketing without being a social media rock star, this episode is for you.
