Do you have what you need to SHOW UP, STAND OUT and make a FIRST IMPRESSION? No one wants to be stuck on the sidelines. Out of sight, out of mind, out of business. Are you stuck there now? Do you know why? This could be the reason. If you just half-commit to your arrival, to your business, to your online persona, then you'll be lost in the masses. It's all about your grand entrance! How are you showing up? Do you just casually arrive, maybe wave to a few people you know, and just HOPE things come your way? You need to make a scene, a statement, a revolution.

It can make videos look really nice. It goes back to my 80/20 rule, see post here, about using the upscale things 20% of the time but the other 80% being as natural as possible in your video and photo production. KNOW your equipment

You know something’s off but not sure what it is… You know you need to get in alignment with who you are to get the results you want... But getting out there and stepping up can be confusing and scary... Don’t worry, here’s… What you can do to STOP hiding and BE the face of your brand! I was there once.
