Deep dives
Focus on Profit Over Revenue Goals
Prioritize hitting profit goals over revenue goals to truly change the course of your business and build a life-first business. Creating more margin in finances and schedule is key to achieving a work-life balance and scaling your business for success.
Transition from Teaching to Copywriting
After feeling burned out from teaching due to continuous workload, transitioning into copywriting became a significant change. Starting with a comprehensive copywriting course during a seasonal job shift, the unexpected layoff prompted the leap into launching a successful business, leading to a fulfilling and enjoyable career as a copywriter.
Niche Down for Business Growth
Specializing and narrowing down the target client base, from realtors to photographers, brought about a transformative shift in client relationships. Moving away from transactional engagements to deep, long-term client collaborations was initially terrifying but led to more fulfilling work and business growth.
Benefiting from Specific Offers and Referrals
Developing tailored offers for photographers and focusing on specific niches resulted in enhanced business growth and client satisfaction. The specificity in services led to easier client bookings, faster business growth, and increased referrals, highlighting the benefits of niche marketing and service offerings.
