Arrggh – we need to get ourselves out there more.

We need to show up so our right people can find us, get to know us & see that we’re here for them
We need some consistent visibility, because it takes way too long to build a business when we remain everybody’s “best kept secret”
It’s really, really hard to ‘just do it’ week after week after week, even when you know it’s good for business
We have important stuff to say, and a particular panache the world needs right now
This is about more than *just* visibility and lead nurturing… it’s about saying your piece, getting your message out there, spreading kindness and valuable information, helping people who may never become clients, but who still need to hear from you right now

The thing is… blogging.

**How often, before you even hit post or publish, do you…**

Struggle to get clear ideas out of your head and onto the page

Wonder if what you’re writing makes sense
Wonder if what you’re writing is even interesting to anybody else
Wish you could write with more personality, and, to be specific, YOUR personality
Edit endlessly, rewriting and rewriting and rewriting, then getting frustrated by how long one post takes
Get impatient, get mad, then post something out of sheer frustration, but you don’t love it, and don’t promote it, so…. You know, what was the point of all THAT?

And here’s the problem with outsourcing

No other writer is you.

Nobody else knows what you know, has lived what you’ve lived, or sees the world through your eyes. Your clients want to hear from you, not from someone else googling ideas while they try to mimic your voice. Even if your brief is perfect, your ghostwriter is top-notch and your system is relentless, something real will get lost in translation.

Expressing yourself in your own words is the most courageous, creative, connective gift you can give to your clients, your business, and yourself.

AI never had its heart broken.

Tools have their uses — I have nothing against spellcheck, Grammarly, or your thesaurus. But tools tend to act like, well, tools when they’re asked to create. A song, a smell, a quote, a problem doesn’t remind AI of… anything. AI has no lived, or loved, experiences from which to draw amazing, original and wise insights. That’s what we need you for.

One of the beautiful things of running a business is getting to express yourself fully and honestly. We need you tell us, in your own words, what all this means.
