Episode Notes
- Jasmine highlights three common mistakes: constantly creating new offers, frequently switching niches, and implementing non-sustainable long-term strategies. These mistakes can lead to burnout and hinder business growth.
- Long-term strategies that create energy overextension and resentment are not sustainable. It's better to start with short-term strategies to determine what you enjoy and can commit to long term.
- Asking your audience what they want in your offer is counterproductive because they don't know what will solve their problem. It's your job as the expert to understand their problem better than they do and explain why your offer is the right solution.
- Focusing on visuals or tech before vetting your offer can lead to creating content that doesn't resonate with your target audience. Instead, engage in conversations and co-create the offer based on their needs and experiences for a more effective sales approach.
