What’s your story?
We all have stories worth telling, but sometimes it can be difficult to get clear on that story and know how to tell it effectively.
I'm Victoria Brown, a Story Coach - I believe stories have the power to connect, inspire and build unbeatable brands - but first you’ve got to get clear on that story.
I believe:
* Everyone has a story worth sharing (yes, even you).
* It’s up to you how you frame that story.
* It can be hard to see that story close up.
* Your mindset can keep you small and stop you from sharing your story.
* Stories are a powerful tool to connect people.
* Stories can make your business memorable.
I created this podcast to:
* Inspire you through other people’s stories
* Find out how to get clear on how to tell your story
* Help you get out of your own way and believe in your own story.
I've been lucky enough to be joined on the podcast by some awe-inspiring and generous successful business owners and experts, and I hope you enjoy hearing their stories and tips as much as I do. Enjoy your slurp of story juice. 🧃

You DON'T have to be on social media for your business.Yup, I said it. I’m a marketing coach, but I don’t believe posting on social media should be a foregone conclusion for a business.How did that make you feel?I see so many small business owners bogged down by the obligation of making content for social media - totally burnt out by the amount of content they need to create, and then it’s not actually making a difference to the bottom line. And the reality is there are so many other ways of finding customers - many of them better - yet people still stay stuck in a kind of self-imposed social media jail without actually thinking of whether it’s adding value to their business.The job of social media is to attract new customers to your business, to help them get to know you better and to keep you front of mind…is it doing that for you? if not, there will probably be other marketing channels and tactics that can do that better. Be open to new ways of working and give something else a go.In my latest episode of Creative Slurp Podcast I give my views on social media:I explain why it’s not the be-all and end-allI talk about the big businesses that have already gone social freeI show you how you can still get the benefits of social media without even having an accountI spill the beans on two other methods of attracting customers and building your brand that I consider to be betterI empower you to make the choice about social media that’s right for your business.I'm not ‘anti-social media’ and yes, I do have social media accounts. But I also want to help business owners be intentional about making the best decision they can around their marketing strategy and where they spend their time.
