So, What Do You DO?


Happy August!

A few weeks ago, my almost 96-year-old Mother-In-Law asked me how my business was doing. I told her it was going really well.

And then she said ...

"I still don't really know what it is that you do.?"

Ha. Ha. Ha. LOL.

So ... what do you do?

Really. What is it that you do?

For many entrepreneurs and small business owners, this can be a dreaded question that comes up at a networking event, a social experience or in a connection call with someone you admire.

Dreaded because ... you haven't mastered what to say just yet.

Dreaded because ... you want to say the perfect thing and overthink it every time.

Dreaded because ... it's hard to remember let alone convey with charm and charisma.

Dreaded because ... despite a perfect script you end up a blubbery mess of word salad and regrets.

Earlier this year, I set out to do more in-person networking and the very first thing I learned is that I needed what we call in the industry an "elevator" speech -- a quick way to introduce yourself and what you do that grabs attention if you are ever in an elevator with a VIP person you want to impress.

OK so that whole elevator experience RARELY happens to most of us but how you impress others with who you are and what you do does matter -- and that's what we're going to focus on later this month in my latest workshop in my Brave YES Business Boost Series.

Last month we gathered for a MidYear Business Reset.

This month, I want to help you create the most dynamic, impressive intro to use everywhere you go. And, not just that ... you'll have time to practice it as well! Because it's not enough to have it written on a piece of paper.

When we're done, you'll be able to use it on zoom, in a coffee date or on stage.

The right intro attracts the most aligned clients and customers to your business.

You do want more clients and customers, right?
