Cara Says It All

In the 13+ years that I've been creating, re-imagining, and refining my brand, The Champagne Diet, I've witnessed many "experts" and coaches offer different approaches to business building. Some I've agreed with, and some have been downright damaging. One of the more popular approaches is finding your niche. And while I am not totally against niches, I don't think they are for everyone. If you've found something super specific and it's working for you and your audience - that's wonderful! I just know I could not do the exact same thing for the past 13 years, and almost every single one of my business clients has come to me feeling suffocated by the idea that she has to choose some specialized segment of her market and never veer off course. In today's episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on why the "niche" is dead and how we can begin to look at our brands from a completely different, more creative, empowered perspective.

☆ Click here to join ICONIC! Doors are closing TODAY ☆   There seems to be this narrative going on in the world of entrepreneurship where you're supposed to niche down on this one very specific thing, go 10x on that thing, drown yourself in webinars and content from others who are also doing that very specific thing, burn yourself out, and move onto the next huge goal before you've ever even come up for air after achieving the previous one.   I am here to dispel that myth.   In fact, that myth makes me crazy. It limits our creativity, stifles our natural talents, and sucks the fun out of life and business. In today's episode, I'm giving you some tips on how to have more fun in your business. Because after all, isn't that the point?   Enjoy!

I'm popping in with a quick announcement to invite you to my FREE mini masterclass/champagne happy hour! RSVP here I don't think I knew over 13 years ago that I was building a brand when I started The Champagne Diet blog. I was simply expressing myself to the world, sharing the things that I loved (like my passion for champagne, Chanel, and the celebration of life), and bringing others along with me as I created something fun and unique. Now I bet when you have a glass of champagne, you can't not think of me ;)   In my now nearly decade and a half of doing what I do, I have become passionate about personal branding and the mindset needed to create a memorable one that has a massive impact and brings in massive income.   That's why I'm so thrilled for tomorrow's FREE mini masterclass where I'll be sharing a sneak peek of my brand new course ICONIC.

Today on the show, I'm chatting with Julia Haart, star of the Netflix series My Unorthodox Life, and Co-Owner and CEO of Elite World Group - the world’s first talent media conglomerate comprised of 48 global agencies representing over 5,400 of the world’s most dynamic talent. Julia is the definition of a BOSS. Until the age of 42, she lived within the confines of an Orthodox Jewish community in Monsey, New York, where she was married off at the age of 19 (after only knowing her husband for a few hours), and went on to raise four children in a community where women had no rights, no voice, and no hope for anything other than becoming a mother and a wife. Miserable and desperate, Julia escaped Monsey and her Orthodox life with her children and reinvented herself into a fashion industry mogul. Her mission now is to shift the power dynamic among the talent in her agency by transforming them into media channels and internationally recognized brands. She wants all women to be financially free and empowered, and is doing so by revolutionizing the modeling industry. Julia's story is inspiring, to say the least, and in this episode we talk about her path to self-reinvention, freedom, and finding and creating real love within herself and her family. Get ready to be blown away. Be sure to watch My Unorthodox Life on Netflix, and click here to pre-order her book, Brazen, coming March 2022.
