This one is aimed squarely at you, my little ‘personal brand-based’ founder darlings — in other words, the current and aspiring content creators, consultants, coaches, freelancers, creatives and knowledge-based founders of the Internet.
Over a series of five podcasts (because brevity ain’t my strong point), I’m going to break down for you everything I know about how to set a personal brand based business for big fun, big freedom and BIG money.
In this episode, we're starting strong 🥃
I'm covering how to set yourself up as a personal brand based business the right way from the start to feed and fuel MULTIPLE, DISTINCT NICHES..
.. in a way that doesn’t bore you to tears, destroy your soul and keep you trapped in a box that feels like the online equivalent to maximum security prison for your happy, creative, multi-passionate little soul.
