From Turnoffs to Turn-ons: Navigating the World of Advertising
In this podcast episode, I discuss the importance of advertising in a way that resonates with clients and builds a sustainable business. I share my own experience with an advertising method that I paid $4,000 for to find out that it didn't work for me!
I also highlight the need for aligning advertising strategies with your desired target audience. I emphasize the significance of understanding the emotional reasons why clients would pay for a product or service, speaking to their pain points, and providing solutions.
In this episode we explore the power of referrals, testimonials, repeat exposure, and creating a positive vibe to attract and retain customers. Join me as I read submissions from my Facebook group that add to the discussion.

I shared personal stories, from watching Wednesday with my kids, to getting compliments about my hair, to playing tennis and realizing I was better than I gave myself credit for. The main lesson was that when we accept compliments and believe in ourselves, we show up with more confidence, and that changes how others see us too.

In this episode, I talk about the common feeling of “everyone’s trying to sell me something” and how to avoid wasting time or money on the wrong solutions. I share my own experiences of jumping into offers too quickly, thinking they were signs, only to regret it later. The key lesson is that if I’m actively solving my own problems, I can spot whether an opportunity truly supports my goals or is just a distraction. I explain the Accountability Code, which starts with reflection, humility, and planning, so I can decide what fits my long-term vision before committing.

In this episode, I talked about BNI (Business Networking International) and how it helped me grow my business. I first discovered it when a friend invited me to her presentation and I found out it was a structured weekly meeting where local business owners share referrals, learn together, and hold each other accountable. I explained their core values like “Givers Gain” and accountability, and how being around serious, supportive people gave me motivation and a sense of community.

In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I shared a story from my book Becoming Boss Minded about how to write copy that actually converts. Even if writing isn’t your main focus, I explained why learning how to guide people’s decisions is so powerful. We talked about how stepping just a little outside your comfort zone, what I call “finding the edge”, is the key to getting results, whether you’re selling, persuading, or just asking people to take action.
