Today on the Podcast, Danielle is joined by the amazing Suz Chadwick, a BOLD branding and small business coach. She's also the author of PLAY BIG, BRAND BOLD.

This is such a great conversation, you are going to LOVE it! Danielle & Suz talk about Being BOLD, Getting Resourceful and Collaborating Strategically as an entrepreneur.

Suz shares about her journey of building her business, coming from a corporate background, then hosting extravagant events and eventually finding her sweet spot in helping women build their personal brands!

We can't wait for you to tune into the episode! It's a fun one :)

Key Takeaways:

  • Suz’s start into entrepreneurship - how her business grew from glasses of wine with girlfriends around her dining room table.

  • Suz talks vulnerability about her first event and the big, bold risks she took to make it happen, and reflects on what she would do differently in hindsight. 

  • Suz talks about the power of re-evaluating your business to find where your passion/purpose and profit meet and prioritizing them to protect your time/energy:

    • “Is it aligned to my purpose?”

    • “Is it productive/does it energize me?”

    • “Is it profitable?”

    • “Does it bring me pleasure?”

    • At the end of the day - “Is this taking me where I want to go so I can work with the clients I want to?”

  • You gain momentum from going after what you want and being very clear:

    • Make a list of 10-20 people you want to work with and build an authentic relationship with them.

    • Bring proposals and examples to collaborations - share the value that you bring!

    • Get aware of “WHY” you’re doing what you’re doing as you build a brand and community. What do you say about your quality, pricing, etc with your brand? 

    • Remember that people who follow you are interested in what you offer! So don’t forget to offer it!

    • Suz shares how easy it is to stand out as a brand/entrepreneur, as so many people are not working to stand out. Take time to find what makes you, YOU, and bring it to the forefront. Let your personality shine through. 

  • The power of staying vulnerable with your community as an entrepreneur. No one can relate to “perfect” - people NEED the reality of the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.
