BUSINESS BUILDING INSIGHTS Don't let fear stop you. Say yes to new opportunities and figure it out after. Practice bravery in your business. Putting yourself out there can lead to big things. Overcome imposter syndrome by reminding yourself of wins. Create a 'Love Folder' and save good testimonials, write down everything (small or large) that went well, take screenshots of positive comments online, etc. Remind yourself of all the people you've helped. Find ways to brainstorm and get new ideas from other people - use your team, a coaching group, etc. Expose yourself to things outside your focus to stimulate creativity - in your business and for marketing. Don't rush to push for a sale. Showing up online is how you connect with your audience. You have to show who you are. And it takes time to build a relationship. As a handmade business, the skill of what you do and how you create your products is your superpower. That's your USP.
