    How to develop a personable brand voice

    You hear a lot of jargon in content marketing. CTAs, KPIs, B2B, SEO…

    It can make the prospect of promoting your business far more complex and intimidating than it really is.

    Marketing is simply about connection. Having conversations, building relationships and generating trust, so the right people want to work with you.

I listened to @steven and @karren_brady_official i I listened to @steven and @karren_brady_official interview on the @diaryofaceopodcast and it was so powerful. 

Probably one of my favourite podcast episodes of all of the podcasts I listen to. 

Karren shared so many things that I was grateful to hear her say... 

- importance of knowing and living by your core values
- that people do business with people
- listen to your gut
- Leadership and management are different
- it's ok to be candid

I have been re-reading The Go Giver Influencer thi I have been re-reading The Go Giver Influencer this week - actually I have been listening to in on #audiblebooks while doing the school run to @moylescourt 

This book is an absolute #mustreadbook for those in business and I loved listening to @realbobburg and @johndavidmann tell it. By listening to it in bitesize chunks the messages not only go in but get processed - the only problem I have is by driving I cannot capture the tweaks I want to make to my website or courses as a consequence. 

The biggest tweaks for my business come from the lessons around empathy and gratitude and how to share them to those I serve. 

This small reminder is so important as we get lost in the day to day. 

I am grateful for @thehomeofhocuspocus for enabling me to collect a new crystal for youngest son and @lucyslovelythings for my call with her today.

'When Elizabeth started coaching me, the very first thing she taught me was also the most important thing she taught me.

"‘Have a kind and generous spirit, George,’ she said. ‘A kind and generous spirit always wins. And you know why that is?’

“'I didn’t, of course. I never know the answers to the questions she asks.'

"Gillian could easily imagine that. The woman had a sort of oracular quality. Sphinx in a hairnet.

"The Coach turned to face Gillian. ‘Because,’ she said, “gratitude is the secret to all magnificent success.’”

-Bob Burg and John David Mann, “The Go-Giver Influencer

Who or what are you grateful for today?

One happy client described it as "The best VA Membership they had ever joined, and they had joined a fair few over the years."

Link to join the VA Membership is via my bio above - and the awesome thing about the Membership is it's pay as you go. Come try out the Membership for the month of May - you won't be disappointed. 😍It's suitable for both new and experienced VAs - that's the real magic of it.

Yesterday I got to do a #PowerHour with the very l Yesterday I got to do a #PowerHour with the very lovely @dapvalimited who won't mind me sharing this, had to put her business on hold while she battled cancer. I so so pleased to say she is now #cancerfree and back working in her business supporting clients with amazing things like website refresh, website redesign, SEO, UX, Pinterest Management in addition to being a bloody good PA/EA/OBM. 

After the call, she sent me a very beautiful email and testimonial that is oh so powerful (and turned me to tears).

I want to share it here with you. 

"You are absolutely amazing Amanda!
Your VACT VA Mastery course is incredible as it not only teaches us how to be the best virtual assistants/executive assistants/online business managers etc but it is full of extremely useful resources and takes us step-by-step through setting up our businesses, giving us information on the various options open to us. I found it so rewarding building my business alongside my VACT coursework as we worked through the different modules. 

After my cancer diagnosis last year, I so appreciate your module on Business Continuity and Disaster Planning and creating a solutions list. Everything in that module was put into practice by DAP VA Limited and has kept my business alive. 

So I feel that just thanking you does not do justice for everything I've learnt from VACT and your ongoing support. I am so privileged and humbled to have taken up this course and to have met you! 

Much love
Debbie"

When we set up our businesses I get clients to do the "what if" scenarios and at the time everyone thinks it will never happen to them. But it can...

Debbie - I cannot wait to see where 2022 now takes you.
