Listen in on the podcast as I share why I started my business and why it's important that you share your story, so that you can start attracting your ideal clients.

Darlene Hawley, Personal Branding & Business Coach for  online service based business owners

I was featured on the Online Success Journey Podcast with Patience


We talked about how I was my ideal client 7 years ago, and how the tools and processes that I learned during that time are what I use now to help my clients move forward to create a solid brand and business.


In the beginning I found that I didn’t know what parts of my story to share in my brand messaging, I thought that it would scare my clients away or make them think different about me.


But I learned over time that the more that I share my message the more it draws my ideal clients in and it helps me build trust and likability in my community.


We also chatted about how I define success and why I think everyone can become an entrepreneur.


And much much more….
