Launch My Brand Today

Am I waiting for everything to be perfect before I launch? My website, my messaging, my offer, my audience size?In this game-changing episode of Launch My Brand Today, I’m diving into one of the biggest myths holding so many entrepreneurs back — the belief that you have to have it all figured out before you start.Here’s what I share in this episode:• Why the world needs your perspective, not your perfection• The difference between intentional preparation and fear-based procrastination• Sarah’s story — what happened when she finally launched her framework after two years of “getting ready” (spoiler: it’s really good)• Three powerful questions to ask yourself before you share anything — so you can launch with confidence and alignment• How to know if you’re truly not ready, or if you’re just scared• What you actually need to launch (hint: it’s not a perfect website or thousands of followers)• Your invitation to take imperfect action this weekIf you’re an entrepreneur, creative, or someone building a business around what you want to be known for, this episode will give you permission — and a practical framework — to finally put your work out into the world.It’s time to stop waiting for the perfect timing or the perfect setup. Because here’s the truth: your people are waiting for you — not the polished version of you, not the one with flawless systems, but the one who’s ready to serve, share, and grow.In this episode, I also introduce The Brand Builder’s Companion, a resource I created to help you build your brand with purpose and clarity so you can launch with intention instead of waiting for impossible perfection.Don’t make your audience wait for you to feel ready. The world needs what only you can create. Start now — even if it’s messy, even if it’s small — because every big brand began with one imperfect first step.Grab The Brand Builder's Companion

In this episode of Launch My Brand Today, we’re unpacking one of the most common mindset blocks I see with personal brand builders: “I’ll charge once I’m more established.”Whether you’re just starting out or finally stepping into the spotlight, this episode is your reminder that you don’t need to wait to be “ready” to get paid for your expertise. I’m sharing what I’ve learned from both my own journey and my clients’ experiences — including how to confidently charge for the transformation you provide, why pricing is more about belief than numbers, and how to build your brand and your business at the same time.This one’s a heart-to-heart for anyone who’s been doing the work but hesitating to own their value. You are the brand. You are the product. You are the value. And it’s time to act like it.🎯 Action Steps for Listeners:Take the Personal Brand Archetype Quiz: Discover your unique strengths and traits by visiting personalbrandarchetype.scoreapp.comSchedule a Personal Brand Discovery Call: Let’s map out a strategy to bring your vision to life.

This episode is straight from the heart, recorded in the middle of a chaotic Q1 when I almost convinced myself I didn’t have time to hit record. But after listening to a powerful conversation between Alex and Leila Hormozi, I knew I had to show up and share what’s been sitting on my heart—because I know I’m not the only one navigating the tension between leveling up and holding the line.In this conversation, I dive into what it means to build a brand as a thermostat—someone who changes the temperature of the room rather than adjusts to it. It’s vulnerable, it’s honest, and it’s a reminder that creating something of your own, something rooted in your truth, will require energy, effort, and deep inner work.We talk about why brand building is so much more than aesthetics or algorithms. It’s about how you show up, what you choose to say when it’s hard, and the legacy you’re leaving behind. And if you’ve been holding back or waiting for the “right time” to make your move? This is your sign.Because here’s the truth:You never know what you’ll put into motion when you take action.And that one step could change your life.Link to Alex and Leila's podcast episodeWanna know your Personal Brand Archetype?https://personalbrandarchetype.scoreapp.com

Think about it—whether it’s in a classroom, at an event, or even in your own industry, the physical, mental, and emotional spaces you occupy shape your brand’s trajectory. If you’re feeling stuck, unseen, or like your efforts aren’t translating into growth, it might not be about working harder—it might just be time to change where you’re sitting.Your brand will never grow if you’re only engaging with the same people, in the same circles. So…✅ Go to new events. If you only attend industry-specific conferences, branch out—try leadership summits, wellness retreats, or creative masterminds.✅ Engage in new online spaces. Join Facebook groups, LinkedIn discussions, or Slack communities where fresh conversations are happening.✅ Challenge yourself to meet one new person a week. It doesn’t have to be a huge commitment—just one genuine conversation can spark new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities.What Happens When You Change Where You Sit?🔥 You start seeing things from a new perspective.🔥 You meet people who challenge and inspire you.🔥 You break out of your comfort zone—and that’s when your brand truly starts to stand out.If you’ve been feeling stuck, unseen, or stagnant, consider this your sign: MOVE.Your Challenge: Take One Step Today🔹 Start a new conversation—online or in person, engage with someone outside your usual circle.🔹 Try a different introduction—shift how you answer, “What do you do?” to make it more engaging.🔹 Take the Personal Brand Archetype Quiz—because before you change where you sit, you need to fully own who you are.https://personalbrandarchetype.scoreapp.com

Growth is beautiful, but let’s be real—it can also be lonely. When you step into your next level, not everyone in your circle will celebrate your evolution. And guess what? That’s okay.
