We all face obstacles, every single one of us, and almost on a daily basis. Chances are good that today you are going to run up against something that feels like an obstacle, something that stands in the way of what you are trying to accomplish, like a task or a goal. BUT, a lot of these things we THINK are obstacles are actually not obstacles at all, but something else altogether. Today I’m going to reveal what’s actually going on here and how you can recognize and overcome obstacles.

Want to Learn How to Create Marketing Content That Actually Works?

Every solopreneur I know struggles with creating effective marketing content. They always ask the same question: “What do I say in my marketing?”

I’ve struggled with this too. Early on in my business…

  • I had no idea what I should be talking about…
  • I had no clue what to share on social media…
  • I had no pre-planned marketing strategy…
  • I just did whatever came to mind at the moment…
  • I tried all sorts of stuff that wasn’t working…
  • My audience and my business weren’t growing…

This didn’t mean I was a failure, it just meant I needed a content plan that actually worked.
