For years I’ve been creating content and sharing my work (blogging, vlogging, and podcasting) online with my audience. It’s something I enjoy doing. It’s also a core part of my marketing strategy. The reason it’s a core part of my online marketing strategy is because it works. But here’s the thing. It only works, if you put in the work. Over the years, I’ve had countless conversations with entrepreneurs who say: - I need to start blogging - I need to start making videos - I need to launch my podcast  And days and weeks and months go by and they still say the same thing. In some cases, a full year or more goes by and still no blog, no videos, and not a single podcast episode to show for it.  Creating content is a powerful way of showing your expertise. It’s one thing to say the words, “I’m an expert and here’s what I do” but it’s quite another thing to deliver a premium piece of content to your ideal client that demonstrates your expertise right in front of them. So, if you’re reading this right now an

When I first started out, I chose the brand name “The Path of Me,” which focused on helping people find their own distinct path (of purpose) in life. At the time, this idea resonated with me. In the beginning I struggled with having my name tied to my work. Confidence in my ability to serve was never an issue. However I did wrestle with whether or not I had the credibility needed to share my message as an authority figure. Perhaps it was imposter syndrome. Over the years I put out lots of content and promoted my work across the social media multiverse. I made hundreds of videos, wrote articles, and launched a podcast, not to mention all the opportunities to share my message in person via speaking gigs and trainings. This was a period of learning. Want to know what else I learned? There is only one way to find out. Tune in and let today's message help you in your journey. [10-Minute Challenge] Use what you learned in today's episode and share your message with your audience. *** Like what you hear and

Over the years, I've seen many entrepreneurs work tirelessly to get featured on podcasts. They do the research, send the pitch, and land the booking. They make the necessary preparations and rock the interview. They even put out a blast on social media to alert their fans to tune in.  Up until this point, they're killing it. They've done everything right. But then they make a critical mistake. This episode reveals what they're doing wrong and what you can do to avoid the same mistakes. Plus, I'll share how you can get the smart advantage by making good use of these simple yet effective tactics in your marketing strategy.  [10-Minute Challenge] Implement at least one of these in your marketing strategy.  *** Like what you hear and want more free coaching tools?

During this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen many service-based businesses transform day-to-day operations and products, or pivot entirely, in order to survive these darker times. We’ve also witnessed certain industries modify their service and adjust to the circumstances to effectively wait out the storm. Unfortunately, we've also seen many neighborhood businesses have to close their doors permanently.  These events have proven why it's so important for businesses to connect with their audience and find new ways to deliver value.  One powerful way to accomplish both is through video creation.  For those that have been on the fence with video content creation or have been reluctant to start for one reason or another, then let this worldwide slowdown be the exact opportunity you’ve been waiting for to begin. Time is no longer a factor because the pandemic has afforded most of us more than enough time on our hands. In this episode you'll learn how easy it can be to start using video in your marketing s

There is a big difference between the images we see in the movies and how they play out in real life. In the movies we always get that desirable happy ending. However, that isn’t necessarily the case in real life. Sure, anybody can start a business but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be profitable. Likewise, anybody can create a social media profile for online visibility but that doesn’t mean that people are automatically going to “like,” “follow,” or “subscribe” just because your page exists online. You’re going to need to put a strategy in place and this is where I can help you in today's episode.

Self-mastery isn’t attained from reading a single self-help book or attending a weekend personal development seminar. It’s a lifelong process of continued growth. We get there only through practice, practice, and more persistent practice. It’s impossible to reach the mountaintop in just one day, but every day we can take steps towards that breathtaking view. From this perspective, we are able to use the power of the mind to transform small daily victories into monumental success.

Far too many people act like zombies, asleep to the world around them. As leaders, we must be present in the universe. Otherwise, how are we to take advantage of the many golden opportunities in life? In storybooks, golden opportunities are presented by fairy godmothers, genies, and wishing upon shooting stars. These are great for children’s bedtime stories, but I wouldn’t recommend them as a business or life strategy. This episode will focus on helping you recognize the many opportunities that are currently in your environment and how to attract new opportunities in business and life.  [10-Minute Challenge] Take stock of the opportunities that are around you right now. *** Like what you hear and want more free coaching tools?

Nobody wants to be just another average joe business struggling to be seen and heard in a rapidly growing marketplace. It’s noisier than ever out there and if you’re not defining your brand and standing out from the crowd then, unfortunately, you will be lumped in with everyone else. That’s no way to build brand identity and certainly isn’t going to help scale your business. In terms of marketing, one powerful way to both define your brand and establish authority is to publish original content. This might include blogging, podcasting, or vlogging, which is both a simple and efficient option for companies getting into content creation. More than likely, you already know that creating your own original content could dramatically improve and amplify marketing efforts. It’s also likely that many listeners, despite knowing the power of content marketing, remain reluctant to include original content creation as a key component to their marketing strategy. If this is you, then it’s time to get honest with what’s
