Once upon a time, I hosted a masterclass that had what I thought was a terrible conversion rate — until it wasn't. Not a single person bought on the call. But in the days that followed? EVERY person who attended wound up buying.In this episode, I'm breaking down the four-part framework I've used (and taught behind-the-scenes) to drive wildly high conversion rates — ethically, educationally, and without a bait-and-switch in sight. If you've ever felt allergic to bro marketing, or you want to sell on a masterclass but don't want it to feel manipulative or predatory… this one's for you.What's Inside This Episode:What I was taught that made my educator brain absolutely cringe and how most webinar frameworks get it completely backwardsMy secret weapon for not only teaching, but converting sales — using learning design to teach people to buy betterThe reason I refuse to teach anything I wouldn't use in my actual programThe one thing I HAVE changed about masterclasses to evolve with what works todayWhy I only attract people who already believe they're capableMy signature take on “consent-based selling” — and how I bake it in to every sales presentationHow you can steal this approach and build your own cash-converting masterclass

What kind of marketing would work with your audience, one that uses psychological triggers and manipulates them to buy or one that resonates with who they are?In this episode, I'm talking about the need to break free from traditional Bro marketing and embrace a more authentic approach to sales through intuitive marketing. Shutting down prospects' thoughts using psychological triggers and manipulating them to buy is an old marketing strategy perfectly explained in Robert Cialdini's book "Influence." It worked for some time, mostly among men, yet it is not too effective these days, especially not with women; we are more intuitive, and our motivations to buy products are different from men's.Throughout this episode, you'll hear why you must abandon traditional marketing strategies and embrace a more intuitive approach to marketing. You'll also get practical steps to make your marketing strategies more intuitive, eliminate any Bro marketing remnants you might have in your sales process, and much more.Tune in to episode 154 of Unstoppable Female Entrepreneurs and get the tools to break free from traditional marketing and embrace a more intuitive approach to marketing.In This Episode, You Will Learn:What is Bro marketing and how it works (2:00)How intuitive marketing differentiates from traditional marketing (4:10)Practical steps to make your marketing more intuitive (7:30)Why the start of Quarter Four is the best time to dive into intuitive marketing (11:00)Let's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTube5 Keys To Breaking the $10K Code Free TrainingWellness Entrepreneur MastermindIntuitive Marketing Membership Hosted on Acast.

As a child of immigrants who was taught to work hard and value money over everything else, I've spent a lifetime unlearning the narratives that lead me to live by other people's definition of success, and measuring my worth through external measures. From burnout to my healing journey with my mom, I have shared very openly my relationship to re-defining my relationship with money, success, self worth, and how I believe our marketing should be a reflection of our core values. Recently, I attended an event that was very bro marketing which not only lacked any diversity at all, but prioritized MORE IS ALWAYS BETTER and this made me want to record an episode on my reflections on this. Although we live in a world where sometimes the loudest voices get heard or valued, may this episode be an invitation to give yourself permission to define success on your own terms.Here's What We Cover In the Episode and More:Reflection on a $5000 business event experience Diversity issues and lack of representation at the event Focus of the event on selling businesses, not just growthHigh-pressure sales tactics and lack of transparencyPersonal misalignment with extreme capitalist business strategies Value in a more nuanced definition of success Importance of balancing revenue growth with personal well-being and impact Emphasis on bringing humanity back into marketing Encouragement to reflect on personal business goals and valuesAttending a high-cost business event full of aggressive upselling and lacking diversity was a wake up call— authenticity and integrity in business far outweigh any superficial revenue growth. The event's narrow focus on preparing businesses for sale, while sidelining valuable voices, only solidified my belief that success isn't about relentless hustle but about genuine connections and meaningful progress. Let's ditch the cookie-cutter capitalist paradigm and embrace a more nuanced, human-centered approach to business growth. Product Businesses!

Does the thought of pushy sales tactics make your skin crawl? Same here. I've always believed there's a better way to connect with people – one that feels genuine and true to who we are.And have you ever felt overwhelmed by the constant pressure to post on every social media platform? I know I have!In this episode of Your Legacy Brand Podcast, I talk about how to embrace pull marketing and why it's the key to building a sustainable and fulfilling business. If you're tired of the noise and looking for a more authentic way to grow, this is for you.When I started my business, I was told I had to be everywhere, all the time. But deep down, it didn't sit right with me. It was exhausting, and honestly, I left corporate to escape burnout, not run headfirst into it!That's when I discovered a new way – a way that aligned with my values and didn't compromise my integrity. Instead of pushing my message onto others, I learned how to attract the right people with pull marketing.Take it from me, I do NOT have a massive social media presence (I am not a big fan of social media), and am not considered an “influencer” (nor do I want to be)…But because of this method, in just a few years, I built a multi-six-figure business. I have been featured in Forbes multiple times and been asked to contribute to Entrepreneur Magazine, all because I positioned myself as a thought leader, put a powerful Brand OS in place and used pull marketing.I don't share this to impress you, simply to prove that this WORKS!No more pushy sales tactics or outdated bro marketing strategies that feel sleazy. It's all about creating authentic connections and allowing people to come to you when they're ready.Tune in and discover how to create a brand that draws people in – no chasing required and no dependence on social media!I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

When it comes to the transference of knowledge to the learners in your programs and events, being a good facilitator is just as important (if not more so!) as being an expert in your field. The trick is, many experts feel like they're doing a great job at facilitation when, in fact, they're….not.Today we're reviewing the mistakes you don't even know you're making when you're ‘unconsciously competent' at your craft. Engagement is such an important part of whether or not your learners are achieving the outcomes you've promised them - a HUGE factor in their decision to stick with you for the long-game. Listen in as Steve Corney walks us through an elevated learner engagement strategy designed to increase participation in events like you've never seen before – the holy grail that every course designer is after. Quick overview of what we cover:What to do when you ask for audience participation/engagement and it's a no-goWhy it's short-sighted to assume that authority and thought leadership and unique perspective outweigh facilitator ability How to decide when to deliver content statically vs dynamicallyWhy how you make your future learners feel in the beginning MATTERS a ton (your knowledge alone won't cut it if you're trying to sell something)How to use learner feedback to know whether you're nailing the balance of expertise vs. facilitationThe best vehicle to deliver info to prevent zoom fatigue How to use ‘signposting' in your event to deliver a pitch with integrityWhat you can fall back on when your facilitator magic runs outThe number one sign that gives away peak engagementThe most strategic balance between teaching and engaging CHECK OUT STEVE + ADRIANE'S PROJECT: Click here to get on the waitlist for our program launchFollow us: @servicedrivenscalingLISTEN TO MORE EPISODES WITH STEVE:Episode 45, How Bro Marketers Have Destroyed Digital Learning Episode 55, Marketing With Integrity in a Post-Bropocalypse World Episode 63, The 5 Elements of a Successful Digital Sales Event Funnel, Part 1Episode 73, Trust Isn't Enough to Sell Courses or Group Coaching Programs...Episode 74, Delivering Outcomes With Mad Respect...Make More Money + Sales with your Established Course or Coaching: Episode 76, part 1; Episode 78, part 2; Episode 80, part 3RESOURCES: Click here to join Adriane's $7 Marketing Strategy MembershipClick here to get on the waitlist for Sustainable Growth LabClick here to work with Adriane and the Soulpreneur AgencyBook a call with Soulpreneur to grow your businessCONNECT W/ STEVE: Instagram: @steve_corneyLinkedIn: @thisisstevecorney

There's a whole lot of d*ck-swinging in the online space.If you're like me, you moved your expertise online in-part to the realities of life in 2020 and quickly began taking every course you could buy on a payment plan. Being educated women, we knew that we needed to learn from those who held the "expert" titles online, so we did. And, those tactics worked for a while...until they didn't.That left many of us feeling like failures, or that we didn't have what it took to be an entrepreneur. I'm coming in hard with the 411 on this episode to talk about the elephant in the online room - bro marketing, or bra marketing as I like to call it when we see women practicing these same outdated techniques. So, in this episode of the podcast we're going to explore how authenticity, value, and building genuine connections are the real currency in today's marketing and sales landscape. And why industry experts like you need to learn to sell differently in order to grow you profits and your legacy. Tune in, because by the end of this episode, you'll not only be armed with insights to debunk the bro marketing tactics, but you'll also be empowered to take your marketing strategy to a whole new level of sophistication.

We're pulling back the curtain on the coaching industry, shedding light on the gross, if not unethical, side of live sales events. Steve Corney is back to dissect a live event funnel run we both went through. This episode is the first of two where we'll walk you through everything, from the registration process to the closing pitch, highlighting how deceptive tactics are ineffective and can leave customers feeling disrespected. We won't just walk through how abysmal this particularly funnel is (because, spoiler alert: IT IS), but also sharing our thoughts on the better, more effective, more *gasp* RESPECTFUL approach, replacing the tricks and traps with ethical sales strategies and impactful learner experiences. Quick overview of what we cover:Why we were left with a bad taste in our mouths after conducting an undercover operation to review the registration, pre-event, community, training, and sales process of a digital challenge (and how you can do it better)How a more sophisticated buyer requires a more more sophisticated sales process in order for it to be effectiveOne of the most disrespectful things you can do to your audience if they buy into a low-cost eventWhy lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-famous, shock-and-awe style marketing and sales tactics count on your never looking closely at what's insideWhere we land on the debate of "to value stack or not to value stack?"... and the potential legal issues if you use themThe pros and cons of using Facebook for an event vs non-social platforms Why it's important to keep participants engaged before your event and how to do it effectivelyRESOURCES: Click here to join the Solopreneur to Scaling CEO no cost 3-day training for service business owners making $50-250k/year USDClick here to join Sustainable Growth LabClick here to work with Adriane and the Soulpreneur AgencyLISTEN TO MORE EPISODES WITH STEVE:Click here for Episode 45, How Bro Marketers Have Destroyed Digital Learning Click here for Episode 55, Marketing With Integrity in a Post-Bropocalypse World Click here for Episode 64, The 5 Elements of a Successful Digital Sales Event Funnel Part 2 Click here for Episode 67, The Critical Metrics Most Coaches and Course Creators Aren't Tracking for Long-Term SuccessClick here for Episode 70, The Secret Weapons of Generating More Leads and Converting More Sales Click here for Episode 73, Trust Isn't Enough to Sell Courses or Group Coaching Programs: Extending Your Lifetime Customer Value Via Respect and ConsentClick here for Episode 74, Delivering Outcomes With Mad Respect - How To Improve Your Curriculum and Course Design and Your Learner's ExperienceCONNECT WITH STEVE: Follow Steve: @steve_corneyConnect on LinkedIn: @thisisstevecorney

If you've been taught to sell in a certain way (cough cough, ‘Bro Marketing') – no shame – but I'm here to tell you there's a better way. (Like, so, SO much better).This episode covers the icky soup of deceptive selling practices known as Bro Marketing, plus a pinch of Woo Marketing, that's been wafting through the online biz space.

So much of business is accepted as the norm simply because it's always been that way. Regardless of the harm these norms cause. What happens when we reject bro-marketing and choose another path? I'm proof that we can grow our businesses from a place of ethical marketing instead of mystery and manipulation. We have so many options when it comes to marketing and how we grow our business. I was able to blow my goals out of the water by diversifying my strategies and trying new things.This one lesson has led to the highest ROI in my business. So when you feel out of alignment, try new things and challenge the norm. I shared about this transformation as a CEO with Ellen Yin on her podcast, Cubicle to CEO. Topics we cover in this episode: How I pivoted from a government career to CEOWhat I've learned from slowing downHow I'm rejecting bro-marketing and harmful business norms If you want to land your first feature for free while staying true to yourself, I want to invite you to watch my PR Secrets Masterclass where I reveal the exact methods thousands of bootstrapping small businesses use to hack their own PR and go from unknown to being a credible and sought-after industry expert.

What gives you the marketing ICK? If you're tired of seeing gurus pose in front of ferraris and reliving the same formulaic webinar - complete with inflated value stacks and fear-induced FOMO - today's conversation will feel refreshing in more ways than one. We're joined by my friend Gloria Chou, an award-winning Small Business PR coach who has helped her community generate more than 1 BILLION free, organic views for their business through features in top tier media outlets. Gloria brings us a brutally honest analysis of her most recent program launch of PR Starter Pack, where she tested rejecting the most popular bro marketing tactics that have dominated the last decade. Her experiment resulted in not only a six figure launch, but half of her previous refund rate. She'll walk us through exactly what she ditched, why, and how that had a positive impact on her bottom line, mental sanity, and relationship with her students. Keep listening to usher in a new era of transparent, ethical marketing.

Relationship Marketing is so much easier said than mastered. How can we forge genuine connections with a whole bunch of people at once - and maintain that earned intimacy? How can we prove ourselves amid a sea of greedy sleazeballs clogging up everyone's DMs? It's TLTQ's 2nd birthday episode, and the incomparable Josh Elledge is here. Josh is a media master, super connector extraordinaire, highly sought-after marketing pro, and a studier of cults and mass manipulation. Arguably the only person who can match Annie P.'s natural enthusiasm, the two embark on a conversation spanning ethics, empathy, the importance of video, trust, reciprocity, and ultimately the latest (and some argue finest) new addition to the Star Wars universe, Andor.

“Love is the secret weapon of the iconic entrepreneur. Work with love, lead with love, serve with love. Do these and you become undefeatable.” — Robin Sharma Are you a life coach, healer, thought leader? Maybe you're just a business owner who is trying to be a light in the world through your work? Me too! Which is why the marketing tactics I learned from other entrepreneurs when I first started in my business didn't always feel right to me. You know those “bro marketing” tactics and strategies that promise to increase your sales but never feel quite right when it comes to implementing them. Typically the singular value at the foundation of that style of marketing is making sales to make more money. If that is what you value, there's nothing inherently wrong with that. But if your values extend beyond just making money, then these fear-based strategies can feel out of alignment and icky. So what's the solution? We know that these traditional marketing strategies that lean in to scarcity messaging and urgency do work! But you're listening to The Legacy Lounge podcast so I know you're ready to reach beyond these tradition marketing tactics. You want to create a socially responsible message and brand that grows from love, kindness, and conscious creation. I do too. And in my opinion, it's time to move away from business growth and revenue generation as the main indicators for success. That's why in this episode of The Legacy Lounge podcast I'm going to share with you a new, higher vibe way of connecting with your audience and attracting aligned clients who will partner with you to create more love and light in our world! Here's what we'll cover in this quick 15-minute episode: Discover how to build a socially responsible and conscious brand that converts Why you should consider implementing conscious marketing in your business Identify the differences between fear-based “bro marketing” tactics and a more conscious and love-inspired style of messaging Shifts and changes that you can make in your business today in order to get closer to a conscious brand and messaging strategy Why vulnerability is not the same thing as transparency and how understanding the difference can help your business flourish Why it's time to make social responsibility part of your core values (and not just when it's convenient) …and so much more! Get out a pen and paper, you're going to want to take notes and do some journaling in this episode! Favorite quotes from this episode: “I truly have found the balance of showing people how I can help them by gently pointing out what's holding them back and using love to guide them into the solution.” — Tiffany Neuman “When we shift our messaging away from being fearbased and shame inducing, not only can we feel better about it, our ideal clients will, too.” — TN “Everyone should have the opportunity to create a profitable business and legacy lifestyle.” — TN “Wanting to build a better world needs to be the core business priority, not an add on.” — TN “When people feel valued and cared for, they do their work with stronger motivation, a deep sense of meaning, and greater engagement.” — TN Links Mentioned In This Episode: Previous Episodes of The Legacy Lounge Rate, Review, and Follow on Your Favorite Platform!

When it comes to marketing in the "early adoption" phase of technology and movements there is a feeling of anything goes and in many cases, it's where the "Fake it to you make it" marketers prey on innocent newbies just getting into the space. It's no surprise to me that these tactics are alive and well on Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse within the NFT Community but I'm here to help educate all of us on how to avoid these tactics as it's a losing battle trying to stop shady people from doing shady things. In this episode I discuss: How the bro marketers are colluding together to drive hype and "shock it's still on the floor" emotions to build their own bags. I explain how and why these bro marketing tactics work and what we should do to avoid them. I also share tips and tricks for making sure people are heard and seen on social audio apps twitter spaces and clubhouse I explain why this is just another reason why women-led NFT projects will continue to explode up the charts. Remember my goal isn't to shame anyone rather I just want to educate on the type of tricks, shenanigans and scams some of the bad actors are pulling so we can avoid them and rather amplify the good people doing good things.

While the ordinary entrepreneur can often learn and follow strategies conventional Business Gurus teach and achieve great results, many of the highly sensitive empathic witchpreneurs, healers, lightworkers and spiritual business owners struggle to fit their magic and intuitive guidance into these "Bro Marketing" formulas. As head witch of the Collective Witchery and host and founder of the Witchpreneur Summit Libbii Armstrong tried it all and after years of going against her inner guidance she decided to follow the call of her soul and conduct her business by Divine Flow instead of from hustle, ego and manipulative selling strategies. As Libbii turned her light up and shared it with the world, more magical people joined her. Now in it's 4th year, Libbii's Witchpreneur Summit starts on 10/25/21.

"Playing the game" is a necessary evil that most folks have a hard time with because they feel like it's inauthentic. As a self-proclaimed queen of authenticity, I can assure you, "playing the game" is not the same as bro-marketing. "Playing the game" means employing specific strategies that make it easier for future potential clients to connect with you. How you structure your content's hooks and headlines is one way to consider this. The way you approach copywriting is another aspect to consider. It's the difference between getting your future potential clients to stop their scroll to read what you have to say, which takes strategy, vs. being gross and truly inauthentic and lying, baiting and switching, or participating in aspirational marketing, which is also rooted in lying. As well as: manufactured urgency and curating FOMO that doesn't really exist. There is a huge difference between "playing the game" (necessary) and "bro marketing" (not necessary.) Tune in to hear specifics of what the differences are.
Can you write copy that leads to major sales without using fear and manipulation tactics? For Tarzan Kay, the answer is a resounding YES. The copywriter-turned-business owner believes high-integrity marketing that's anti-FOMO, anti-bro, and anti-racist will become the new status quo for online business—and if her company is any indication, things are on the right track. This week, Phoebe sits down with the launch whiz and copy queen to talk all things email marketing, copywriting, and ethical launches. Tune in as Tarzan shares her biggest lessons to date from running a successful company (including how psychedelics have served her business) and calls on us all to interrogate our own levels of engagement with “bro marketing”—aspiration marketing that uses short-sighted and self-serving tactics to compel consumer behavior. QUOTES: [24:12] The truth is you can hustle when you're not at your desk. I never stopped thinking about my business, and that's what burned me out. [26:20] When you land on something that people really bite, don't go on and create the next thing. Work on that. Launch it again. Sell it again. Create more of that thing. [39:15] There's no “Bible of Ethics” that says do this, don't do that. Businesses are complex. [43:13] For most people, what will make the biggest difference in their email marketing is just consistently showing up. That is step one. SHOW NOTES LEVEL UP

It's easy to think “I'm not like them. I would never knowingly manipulate people into buying from me. I'm not like those Bros!” But what if it's more complicated than that? There is not a Bro Marketing Binary. What if Bro Marketing is the air we breathe online? You may not look like a Bro, but that doesn't mean Bro Marketing isn't lurking in your business and that's exactly what we are breaking down in this episode of Duped for our 2021 Summer Fun series.

How's your messaging? If you're struggling with marketing your business and every time you sit down to write copy–any copy–feels like an epic slog because you don't know what to say, you've got a messaging issue. Everyone wants their marketing to connect with their audience, but if you're unsure of what to say or not say, or you're winging it every time, the problem isn't your copy, it's that you don't know what your message is. Distilling what you do into a consistent, clear, impactful message that is reflected in every piece of marketing you produce isn't easy, but it will make your life–or the lives of anyone you hire for marketing help–easier once you figure it out. To help us get there, I have the Communication Rebel herself, badass business owner Michelle Mazur. Michelle works with brilliant business owners who are shaking things up, but having trouble talking about it. She combines the tools of successful social movements with the qualitative research skills she earned in her Communication Ph.D. to help them craft their powerful, captivating message. She's the author of the 3 Word Rebellion and has been featured in Fast Company, Entrepreneur, and Inc. Michelle knows that speaking about what you do in a clear and captivating way is the key to reaching the people you could help the most and making more money in your business. We chat about the problem with bro marketing, lament about the prevalence of online courses from people who did something once and Michelle helps clarify the difference between messaging and copywriting. Tune into this episode to hear: Why crafting solid, thoughtful messaging lets you leave behind manipulative “bro marketing” tactics How consistency and staying on message allows you to bring nuance and simplicity to your marketing How consistency builds the authority and trust that makes you an expert, not an influencer Why marketers and copywriters are not there to craft your message, but how having the right outside help can give you the distance to get clear on your messaging Learn more about Michelle: Communication Rebel 3 Word Rebellion: Create a One-of-a-Kind Message That Grows Your Business Into a Movement Instagram: @DrMichelleMazur Connect with Michelle on LinkedIn Duped: the Dark Side of Online Business Podcast Rebel Uprising Podcast: What's the Difference Between Messaging, Marketing and Copy?

With Shannon Droeske Ethics and marketing. Sometimes we struggle to reconcile the two especially as we mindlessly scroll. With the rise of the Internet and the boom of social media as a marketing platform. We are bombarded with messages every single day. These messages and the tactics used to push them can be expertly crafted, and based on psychology to target people in unethical ways, often exploiting vulnerabilities. And I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sit well with me. Today’s guest Shannon Droeske, has spent nearly 15 years in the marketing industry, she is on a mission to create a more ethical and inclusive online business culture. And she refuses to engage in tired sales and marketing strategies devised by the good old boys, and is committed to cultivating new paths that raise the standard of what it means to do business as usual. I am so excited to chat about ethical marketing with Shannon today, you have no idea I need a different word because exciting isn’t a good enough word anymore. This topic has swept me off the ground and I could literally talk about it for days. In this episode, Shannon talks about: How she came to be a marketing expert and the types of clients she serves. 2:51What it means to be an ethical marketer, using that power for good, and the psychology behind it. 5:48The harm of “Bro-marketting”. 10:08Emotional decision making and how traditional marketing plays on that vulnerability. 11:26Protecting ourselves from harmful marketing and the role of shame. 15:17How to sell in a way that’s ethical. 20:09Advice for people as they navigate a toxic self-help industry and the marketing that supports it. 23:00How to further in understanding marketing and use it for a force of good. 40:21 Take a step back, give yourself a minute, and then connect back to why am I doing this in the first place? Why this product? Why this service? And what’s that ripple effect?Shannon Droeske I think we can all remember a time when we've individually been suckered by unethical marketing techniques…like that pretty dress impulse purchase that graced my scroll and arrived at my doorstep looking absolutely nothing like it did in the cute video of the tanned model twirling and the return shipping cost as much as the dress so I was stuck with a pile of cheap fabric and a garment that looked like a… I won’t get into that.. . but, it doesn't feel good to be on the receiving end of sneaky marketing tactics so why would we use these same techniques in our own businesses? Our businesses are our greatest tool to create change, and building this change-making machine requires marketing… and that is okay! Ensuring that our marketing efforts are focused on helping people and not just lining pockets will ensure that our message is authentic and truly resonates with people who would buy our products anyway… they just need to know they exist! It is a beautiful thing to help another human. I think it is safe to say that, if you are listening to this episode, you have a product or service that you can feel good about marketing to the world because you know it will help someone. And I know you're here because you care more about that than the money anyway. I mean, we live n a capitalist world, so money is great, but the REAL currency in life is the quality of your relationships, in my humble opinion. I would love to know if you agree. I really love Shannons advice of defining success for yourself, and not what is showing up on your Instagram feed, curated by people who are trying to define success for you. So, pay attention. When you see a fit body, fancy car, handbag or house, in your scroll, I challenge you to dig a little deeper before you decide this is the true picture of success. In a world where hussle culture is doing more harm than good, Shannon recommends that we take a step back and re-connect to our why. Don't lose touch with why you started this business of yours in the first place. And remember, your legacy is not your paycheque. We might have to continue this conversation in a part two, I could talk quite literally about this topic for days. Connect with Shannon: Websites: https://shannondroeske.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannondroeske/ A note from our sponsors: So you bought a fancy camera or you’re thinking about buying one because it’s clear to you that there is no shortage of beautiful moments or things in your life that you’d like to capture beautifully, but the record scratches because all the dials and buttons and settings are standing between you and your life in stunning photos.

It is everywhere…..which is why on this episode of Duped we're diving in.

"Bro Marketing. The way I envision this term coming about is fraternity boys. Fraternity boys showing off their marketing skills." In this 12-minute episode I'm explaining the term 'bro marketing' and what we can do about it so that we don't have to participate in it: -What is 'Bro Marketing'? -Instead of focusing on the value you provide with your services, it focuses on the flashy side of things-inflating the market. -Bro Marketing is just about pushing their success in other people's faces for an inflated idea of what is possible. -What happens when someone doesn't achieve those same results? -I share a few tips on how to better your marketing without the flashy pizzazz of 'bro marketing'. You can make sales in a very authentic way. You don't have to be sleazy, flashy, or pushy! You can be authentic, empathetic, and just being genuine is a way for people to naturally connect with you and want to work with you. The way you treat your clients is the way I want you to treat your prospects before they become your clients-your authenticity will shine through!

But, integrating our feminine energy into our businesses is really where we discover that: we don’t have to choose our business or our family we don’t have to sacrifice our health to make more money we don’t have to work longer, harder hours to reach that next level of success we don’t have to struggle to survive the feast and famine cycles of big exhausting launches to create miracle-like results for ourselves and our clients Instead, our feminine energy incorporates factors like: how we feel what we can efficiently accomplish during certain phases of our menstrual cycles or of the moon when our kids, or our fur babies, or friends need our attention most, and what their unique schedules are how much support we have both at work and at home how much mental bandwidth is taken up with the emotional labor of maintaining a household AND a company The magic happens when we can have a balance of both the masculine and the feminine in our business and in our lives. So buckle up for this episode and get ready to say a big bold “YES!” to having abundance–without the side order of exhaustion, burnout and toxicity. What you’ll learn in this episode: What the patriarchy is, and how this applies to your business success How to opt-out of toxic ‘Bro Marketing’ tactics and the patriarchy while still making a sustainable income What it means to embrace your feminine energy and the power of cyclical living What a holistic approach to our business actually looks like Subscribe and Review Thanks so much for joining me this week.
