Editorial Review
You are your small business and your small business is you. You are the brand. Clients are buying you. You are the main force behind your business. You are the one doing the work for your clients, and while you may have an assistant, or a contractor who helps you, you don’t have a large staff of employees to manage. You work with clients one-on-one—either face to face or virtually via email or by phone. Your clients can be just around the corner or across the globe. You may be a life coach, business coach, consultant, author, speaker, trainer, therapist, writer, designer, architect, contractor, attorney, accountant, real estate agent, mortgage broker, travel agent, chiropractor, dentist, massage therapist, photographer, or another type of service based professional. You may have heard yourself referred to as a “solo-prenuer”, “solo-professional” or “independent professional.” If any or all of this sounds familiar, then you are a solo, a solo small business owner to be exact.

Wisdom to Share
Human beings are, by nature, selfish. We put ourselves first. We put our family, our property and our valuables first and foremost.
To successfully market your solo small business over the long haul, you’re going to have to change your thinking.
In order to be successful, your thinking needs to shift to the way the prospect thinks, and that way of thinking has to guide the way you present your services and market them.
The reason why so many solo small businesses’ marketing efforts fail is because they’re doing everything backwards.
Unfortunately, too many solo small businesses think the same way! “Why should I give before I receive?”
Why not just send your past clients or prospects a free surprise, like a gift card, movie tickets or some other little gift?
