Episode 11 Description: Maintaining Your Identity in Business While Learning from the Best
In this episode of Wide Open, I’m diving into a topic that’s been on my mind as I navigate a course I’m currently taking. This course, focused on marketing to the high-end wedding market, has some valuable insights, but not everything being taught aligns with who I am or how I want to show up in the world.
I’m not here to throw shade or discredit the educator—I’m just reflecting on the challenges of applying strategies that don’t quite fit my style. If you’re curious about the course, feel free to DM me on Instagram @businesscoachsylvia, and we can chat more about it!
What You’ll Learn:
- Understand the limitations of one-size-fits-all education.
- How to maintain the authenticity of your brand & avoid becoming a miniature version of your educator.
- How to assess whether or not a strategy is for you.
- Using effort, reversibility, and time commitment as markers for how and when to apply new strategies.
- Experimentation and modification of strategies to align with your brand.
