When you look at other people's content, do you ever compare yours to theirs? You think, âhey, this is working for them, so it should work for me, too!â So many of us make this mistake (myself included!). The thing is, the more you compare yourself to others, the more youâll fall back into the sea of sameness. The secret sauce to standing out is radically authentic messaging, strategy, and copywriting. My guest, Aleya Harris, is a StoryBrand-certified guide who helps entrepreneurs with just that.
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
After you master your craft, you need to master the next level.Stop comparing your story to what other people are saying.Start digging deep and getting real with yourself to excavate and replenish.Full Show Notes Here!
