So part of building a business you’re proud of is giving yourself permission to take an authentic stance about your work and the path your dream clients walk down. Sometimes taking a firm stance feels easy and inspiring. Other times… it’s tricky.

1. What is it I really want to say? 2. Will people even get it? 3. And if they do, will they get it enough to want to hire me?

Those were the questions my guest, Angela Beeching, brought to the conversation today. Angela helps musicians get more of their best work out into the world so they can become the artists they are meant to be. She’s worked as a coach for many years and over that time, her confidence, her methodology, and her motivation has evolved. But Angela’s marketing message hasn’t completely kept up with that evolution. So we put our heads together today to help Angela lean into her stance and identify the message underneath Angela’s message. If you’d like to bring a little more bravery to your marketing, this episode is for you.
