You built a vibe, not demand

Hey Reader,

"I've done messaging work, but I'm still not getting clients."

I’ve been hearing this a lot lately. And every time, I ask the same follow-up question:

What kind of messaging did you create?

Mission, vision, and values. Messaging pillars. Positioning statement. Brand voice and tone guide.

And then I’m not surprised it didn’t land them the clients they were hoping for.

Because your brand is the gut feeling people have about your business. And your brand message communicates that vibe.

But a vibe doesn't get someone to book a call with you. It doesn’t inspire action.

So you get the clarity. You feel good. And then nothing happens. WTF?

And you start wondering. Do I offend? Is the messaging off? Why isn't this working?

No. No and no.

You just hired brand messaging to do a job that was never in its job description.

This week on YouTube, I get into exactly why — and what I do instead.

The short version: your message needs to pull double duty.

This video explains exactly what it needs to do for solo business owners like you!
