If that’s the case for you, then this episode is where you should start. I’m covering the seven shifts I made in my marketing and business that allowed me to 4X my prices while also attracting better quality prospects.

Align Your Marketing Strategy With Your Personality Type 39:45

One of the biggest mistakes I see new business owners making is assuming they need to do certain marketing strategies just because everyone else is using them. Forcing yourself to go after a particular marketing strategy is a recipe for disaster if you’re not aligned with that marketing channel. Or, at the very least, a massive waste of your time. Instead, it’s better to align your marketing strategy with your personality type and your strengths for the best results. Join me in this episode as I cover the three main personality types—introvert, extrovert, and ambivert—and give you my suggestions for the best marketing options for each type.
