Marketing That Works When You Don't Have a Decade to Wait

About This Podcast Episode: 

In this episode, we unpack why standard marketing advice fails when you’re starting a consulting or service business with a short runway and without a decade to wait. I share three practical moves that help you get traction faster by leaning on your deep experience, relationships, focusing your effort, and pricing like the expert you already are. It includes:

  • why most marketing advice assumes infinite time and why that doesn’t work for midlife founders and laid-off corporate pros
  • why it’s important to use your warm audience before cold audience and how to turn hidden connections into real leads
  • why reactivating past clients is so valuable
  • how to choose one channel that fits your strengths and your ideal customer
  • the difference between compounding content and disposable content
  • how to position around your years of expertise 
  • why to use pricing as a signal  
  • what “I can’t afford you” usually means and how to respond
