Brand and Business Coaching for Small Business Owners

Tavia: I want to dive into your business. But first I think it would be helpful for everyone to understand a little bit more about who you are and why you started your business. So, can you tell us a little bit about Lindsay?

Lindsay: Sure. I had previously been in Advertising and Branding, like you said, in New York City for a really long time. And I worked with some really highly-awarded ad campaigns and worked with some really strong brands, some of the household brands that you see today. After a while, I decided that I wanted to start my own business and my own business was as a luxury event planner, production, and designer. And so within that, I met a lot of really great professionals, a lot of really fantastic companies and people to work with, but a lot of them knew my background. So they’d always come to me for advice. And so what I wound up doing was just giving them advice for free, so lucky them, right? And working with them to help them build a more strategic brand that really helped them identify who they were as people who they are as a brand and how to attract their ideal customers.

And one day, one of my one of my friendors or vendors, whatever you want to call it, said, “I would pay you for this.” And I’m like, “Wow,” light bulb moment, right? And so I slowly started to transition into the world of being a brand strategist yet again, but for small businesses. To be more specific, creative small businesses, because a creative mind works very differently than some of the other more logistically-attuned minds out there. So that’s how I kind of started. So I am a Brand and Business Coach and I also offer an online course called Inside Your Business.

Inside Your Business

Tavia: That’s awesome. Yeah. You’re so right. Creatives think very differently. And that’s most people listening to this are creatives and our brains definitely work differently. So tell me about what your business you told me a little bit already, but what does your business look like today? Like you help creative entrepreneurs with your online course, correct?

Lindsay: Yeah. So my course is obviously an online course, but it also has a group coaching and Q and A component to it. So I’m really with my students and also my clients. I do 1-on-1 coaching as well. And I am with them literally every step of the way, because having a guide and having that support is a really important part for people who just don’t have the background and how to properly brand a business, right? And it’s not just about the pretty logos and the typography and the colors. And I know that your group already knows all of this, right. But it’s really about how they experience your brand. A brand is experiential, and we’ll go into more of this in a little bit, but it really helped them along the way. And finding something that really works for who they are and so that they can show up in their business in a really beautiful way. One that they’re really proud of, one that doesn’t have to be perfect, and then also one that just makes them feel really relatable and really attracts their ideal clients.

Tavia: You make it sound so easy!

Lindsay: It can be easy.


Brand vs Branding

Tavia: So like you said, my audience understands the concept that like a brand is more than logo and colors. So how would you describe what branding or what a brand actually is?

Lindsay: Sure. So branding and a brand are sisters. So branding is part of your brand, but your brand is the overarching thing. So branding is, you can consider it more of like the process. This is more of the outward expression. It’s like kind of what you look like. It’s what everybody else really touches and sees at the get-go–it’s your messaging, it’s the colors, it is your logo. It is the things that people experience and help bring people in. It’s more like the door that opens people up into the deeper experience. And so this is what leaves an initial impression on people, but this is not what leaves a lasting impression. And so this is where a lot of people get a little confused and they feel that like, “Oh, I just need to brand my company.” And when they say I need to brand my company, they really are uncertain of what that means. And that’s okay because you didn’t grow up in the space, right? But that’s my job, that’s what I help people with.

So I help people find what their brand is and that is their identity. It is what their strategy is. And I know that strategy can feel like kind of overwhelming and confusing thing. But if you think about your brand as a person, and your brand is actually you, by the way. There’s no way to separate the two of you. Because how you show up in your brand is how your brand actually is, and you need to be connected with it. It is really about all the things that you have in place on the backend because how your brand or your business works behind the scenes is also how it works outside.

So if you have a chaotic inside, you’re going to portray a chaotic outside, whether you realize it or not. But if you have something that is running effortlessly and in a beautiful way, it’ll feel that way on the outside too. It’s kind of carrying the energy from the outside to the inside. So if you were to think about it as a person, like if you’re having like an ‘eh’ day, how do you think that you portray yourself to other people? Like if you go to a store and someone approaches you, you probably be like, “Oh, I’m doing okay.” Or if a friend asks how you’re doing, “Oh, all right.” But if you have a brand that really works on the inside, all the little components and you really feel that joy, you’re going to show that joy on the outside too, right? So it’s an inside job when you’re really working on their brand. It’s the difference between having just a business and having something that feels irresistible, a rock solid foundation that you can always fall back upon. And so that’s really, it. Does that help you describe like what a brand actually is, is all encompassing. It’s like your habits, it’s literally the world.

Tavia: How you make people feel, right? You use the person as an example. So if I bumped into you, how am I going to feel? And that branding is based on the brand of yourself. So it’s like, well, how’s my brand doing, so how’s my internal business doing as far as systems and how we have things that people use. And if we have all of those things, then that appears in the overall branding. That really made a lot of sense in my mind, as far as the brand being the person. Like, I like that analogy. So if your internal systems and processes and things are clicking and working, it’s easier to have a branding experience that makes people feel a specific way. Is that accurate?

Lindsay: Exactly. So for instance, if I were to show up with my hair just washed and no makeup on, and I, gosh, I was, you know, wasn’t very clear on what I was talking about. Your brand is really the way that you look, but it is also the way that you project yourself. So if you think about it, your brain can be like the logic center, right? This is your systems or processes, how you do your finances. But then you have your brand voice, which is how you speak. That’s more of an internal thing and that’s more about your DNA and how you were brought up and all the things that have conditioned you to who you are. And then you have your brand purpose and your personality and that’s all in your heart, right? And so if you start to think about it, but then there’s the outward expression, how you dress, how your hair looks, how you present yourself, that’s also part of your brand. And it is all about this foundation and who you are, because just how you look, it’s not who you are, who you are on the inside is also who you are. So it encompasses everything. And how you show up in your business and how you really integrate everything about your DNA and everything about you into your business. Does that help?


Doing a Brand Audit

Tavia: Yeah, that’s good. That’s great. Okay. So how do you know if your brand is attracting your ideal clients? Like doing a Brand Audit is a thing, right? Like that’s the thing people do?

Lindsay: Yes.

Tavia: Okay. I feel like I’ve heard that term before. And I was like, did Tavia just make this up in Tavialand or is this a real thing? Okay. So how would you do a brand audit to know if what you’re doing is working or not? How do you know?

Lindsay: Sure. First and foremost, this can be really simple. If you’re feeling like you’re not attracting your ideal clients, you aren’t. Period. And so you can really ask yourself, if you’re getting a whole cacophony, a group of people from all different places, different interests, and everything else, your messaging is far too broad and you’re likely getting just to every walk of life and you’re speaking to everybody and I’m sure everybody has heard, but at this point, if we’re speaking to everybody you’re speaking to nobody. It’s very true.

But also if you’re attracting one specific type, even though they may not be your ideal client, you are attracting those people to a certain extent, and you really need to understand why you are and where you can up-level that experience, right? So when you’re looking at doing a brand audit, there is really about–I’m gonna break it down into seven steps, if that helps.

Tavia: Oh, I love steps! Absolutely. Please bring on the steps. Yes!


7 Steps to Audit Your Brand

Lindsay: I’m going to use this as a little checklist for you. A brand audit really helps you get real with who you are. It is the full truth. It’s the full picture. A lot of people are afraid of doing this because they just don’t want to know. And sometimes ignorance is bliss, but also ignorance can get your business into a lot of trouble. Understanding this, and you don’t have to share this with anybody else. This can literally be an exercise that you do with yourself, but understanding where you are starting is a really important part, so you’re able to figure out where you need to improve. And if it’s an all places, that’s great, you know where you need to start. But if it’s in one specific place, you know where to focus your energy. So it doesn’t feel so overwhelming.

• One: Look at your starting statistics
  
  So the first step in a brand audit, I always ask my clients and my students to really look at what their starting statistics are. It can be as simple as:
  
  How many people are following you on your social media accounts?
  How much did you bring in last year?
  How much did you spend last year?
  
  It’s very important to understand these to see if you’re profitable and then you can also start to be like, oh, well, everybody wants to say, “I’m going to raise my prices,” but why and how are you going to do that? That helps you narrow and focus it down instead of being like, “Oh, I just, I’m going to raise my prices and hope to bring in more clients or my ideal client doesn’t work like that, maybe for the lucky few.”
  
  But also it’s really about looking where you’re advertising:
  
  Are you getting a return on your investment?
  Do you have inquiries coming from where you’re advertising and are you booking them?
  
  And if they’re not, it’s either your messaging that’s not bringing them in, or it’s really the platform is not for you and it’s not for your ideal clients. And so I have wound up, in my own experience, I’ve wound up not investing in those annual advertising programs, for instance. And so it’s really helped me save money so I can put it into something else that makes more sense. So that’s the first place, look at your starting stats.
  
  
  
• Two: Get feedback from the people you work with
  
  Number two, you’re going to want to survey your clients as well as your ideal audience, and doing it with your clients is far easier than finding, you know, the pie-in-the-sky people. So you really look at the people who are your A-Team, right? The people who you’d say, these are the people, most like the other ones, that I want to work with and you ask them:
  
  What was great about working with me?
  What could I have improved upon?
  
  And that is the key. You need to understand what you can improve upon. And you have to understand that what they say, it might be very real, but consider it a constructive criticism and it can help take you so much further. It’s how I’ve grown my brand into a luxury brand. And it’s something that I’m very proud of. It’s about listening and understanding, but also asking the people who you want to work with. So if you’re already showing up on social media, maybe you can start to ask people, “Hey, like I have a couple of quick questions. I would love for you to answer them. How do you think of me? A or B?” You know? You can either give them prompts or you can give them something open. And so that’s also a really great way to start surveying your audience.
  
  
  
• Three: Do an objective competition review
  
  Number three, I really want you to do an objective competitive review. I need you to take your ego outside of it. I know it’s really hard to do this because the competitors you don’t ever want to see what’s really great about them, but it’s also very important to see what’s really great about them.
  
  What do you actually like or what do you envy or wish you could have a little bit more of?
  What don’t you like about what they’re doing? ‘Cause that’s also very important too, because you’re not going to be offering that.
  
  And this one, it can help you start to see where you’re a little bit different. This doesn’t mean like being a fake inquiry for them either, and kind of like poaching their business. You don’t need to understand what they’re charging because you should be charging based upon your needs and your wants and your desires. The way that you price should never be about what everybody else is doing. It’s about what you need to do for yourself. So seeing the inside of their business, I would say that that’s pretty ethically not cool, so don’t do it. I’d say, look at a good handful, 3-5 of your competitors, but also look at somebody who you really admire. Somebody who’s that level above and see what they’re doing that’s a little bit different. And so when you start looking at this in totality, you can really have that view of, hey, I know what they’re saying, I know what they’re not saying.
  
  
  
• Four: Review yourself
  
  And so that’s really important. But then I need you to do that to yourself. I need you to review yourself:
  
  What are you saying?
  What are you not saying?
  What do you want to say?
  And what do your people need to hear?
  
  So when you look at this, it’s really about looking at what your ideal clients need to hear that maybe people aren’t saying. Maybe they’re too afraid to say and there’s a way to back into and a way to ease into what they need to hear. And so it’s never, “Oh, you have to do this,” and be, “Have you ever considered this?” You know? Or like opening up a conversation instead of telling them things. So it’s really about looking at yourself and being objective:
  
  How am I showing up?
  How am I not showing up?
  What could I be doing better?
  What could I be doing more of?
  
  
  
• Five: Understand what is important to you and your business
  
  And so number five is you need to understand what’s really important to you, in your business and in your life. Because if your business is always going to be a part of you, you cannot separate the two. You cannot. If you’re running a business as a small business owner, as an entrepreneur, and especially as a creative entrepreneur, there’s a tether to the heart care. I mean, it’s not only what brings you joy, but it should be bringing in your income, your profit, something that help you live and help you sustain, but also to help you serve other people. And so the more that you’re able to bring in, the more able to serve others. So it’s really understanding what’s really important to you, but also what’s not important to you. So this way, you know how to say yes and no to certain things, right?
  
  
  
• Six: Evaluate how you show up to your clients
  
  And so number six is how are you showing up and how are you not, and how do you want to show up and what are you willing to do to show up? So this is really about looking at how you are on social media, how you are in the e-mail newsletters, but also how you show up in your overall client relationship. This is really important because that one client might get you another client. And so sometimes word of mouth is the best advertising and it’s the best free advertising I think anybody can do.
  
  
  Seven: Know how you feel in your business
  
  And so number seven is how are you feeling in your business? I think you really need to do a big gut check. Do you feel really excited that things are effortless or do you feel overwhelmed and your business has been running you versus you running it? You know, you have to start asking yourself these very real questions and also asking yourself, “how do you want to feel in your business?”
  
  I know for me, I always say that I want to feel joy in my business, but I do take a semi-serious tone because branding is not just like, ‘oh-hahahaha’ type thing. It’s really about experiencing joy in a way that is authentic and what you actually want out of it, right? Joy can mean a number of different things. I would not say I’m playful in my business, but I am joyful in my business. And so there’s a lot of different things that I want to feel, I want to feel fulfilled.
  
  What does that mean to me?
  How do I want to feel?
  Where am I not experiencing that?
  Where can I start experiencing more of it?
  
  So I hope that helps a little bit.

After the Audit

Tavia: Oh my gosh. Let’s just like, everyone, end this here, go pay Lindsay some money because that was money. That was so valuable. And I don’t want people to just skip over that. Literally, pause, rewind, go back, write down the steps that Lindsay just said and do it. If you want to have a brain that attracts your ideal client, if you want to have a brand that attracts where most of you want high-end clients, go back and listen to what Lindsay just said, do this brand audit and look at your results and think, what questions should they ask themselves? When they have this result, what should they be looking for and asking themselves to determine like what their next step should be?

Lindsay: Right. If you’re finding it to be overwhelming to do all at once, you can chunk this up into a week, but give yourself a deadline and a timeframe, because you can say, “Yeah, I’m going to start this,” and then it gets really hard to send out that first survey. So I say like, just do the survey, get that thing out really quickly, because it’ll take some time for people to get back to you. But when you start getting that feedback, you’re going to see some really great things too.

And so you’re going to get constructive criticism and just know that you need to be disconnected from what they say, because what they tell you is exactly what they want and now you know how to deliver it. And now you know how to be different because you’re looking at what your competitors are doing. You look at what you want to be doing. It’s about being really intentional with your brand. And I know that this can be a buzzword, but it’s really about how do you sink yourself into having purpose in literally every single thing that you do.


How Often Should I Collect Feedback?

Tavia: Yeah. And back to point number one or two, I think where you said to interview people that you’ve enjoyed working with in the past, if anybody is listening to this and they’re in Marketing School for Birth Photographers, we talk about this in Module 1, and I give you the questions in the format to like go and survey your people. So if you have not done that, you should do it. And Lindsay is just validating that for me, how important it is. And Lindsay, you reminded me, we need to do it more often. Like we need to have it be a part of our regular systems, because this is not like a one-time thing that you do this should be, what do you think like quarterly would be beneficial?

Lindsay: I think, after your client service was done. So every single time that you do a wrap-up, there should be a part in your process where you have a follow-up sequence. And so this doesn’t have to be anything that feels really automated, but you should just know in your mind exactly. Like, well, you know, I send a thank you and then afterwards I say, “Hey, I would love your feedback so I can make sure that I’m showing up for you in the future or for other people. And I’d really love to know what you think.” And anybody who is asked what they’re thinking, they’d love to provide feedback. People, if you ask, they will provide, especially if they had a great experience and if they are your ideal clients. And so just understanding what this is, they know that this is a relationship and if you’ve curated this experience for them all throughout, they will be more than happy. Even though they might be a little tired from a new kid, they will be more than that. You might have to do a couple of follow-ups. They will always be happy.


Setting Expectations of Constant Improvement

Tavia: Stephanie and I were just talking about that at our team meeting on Monday. It was like, “Okay, how can we follow-up without being annoying?” Because yeah, we do. And a lot of people listening to this do have the added thing of “they just had a baby!” So we’re like, you know, pinging them or whatever. And it’s, you know, if you don’t get it from everybody, that’s fine. But we do get it from a lot of people. And it is really beneficial.

I will say, you know, I had someone on my team read the feedback because I was like, I can’t handle it if it’s negative, you know. Like you said, we’re so tied to our businesses personally. So if you get feedback, just be aware of the mental space that you’re in when you’re reading it and if you need to let somebody else in your team, let your partner, let a best friend, somebody read it and give it to you nicely if you need to. Because I definitely did for my photography studio and for the online business, you put so much of yourself into it that I realized after I read a few negative things, I was like, “Okay, I have to protect myself a little bit and get this delivered to me in a different way. So that’s totally fine too.

Lindsay: But the best way to go about doing that, even if you are the only one reading the feedback, ’cause you know, sometimes people are like, “Well, I don’t want to read the feedback, but I don’t want anybody else to read the feedback. Especially if there’s something I can improve upon.” We’re human. We can always improve ourselves. Right? So I think going in with that expectation, we are always constantly improving. And if you are not, you are actually doing something wrong. No one is perfect in business. It’s a process, it’s progress. It’s not perfection. And so if you go in looking at it, if I hear something that is something that I can improve upon, see it as your biggest opportunity.

And if you flip it from feeling like, “Oh, I’m not going to feel great about myself” to saying “Wow, I’m going to figure out where I can do better and what my next opportunity is.” And that will help you grow your business exponentially.


Common Brand Mistakes of Creative Business Owners

Tavia: Yeah. I love that. Okay. So I know we’re kind of like pushing up on time and I want to be respectful of listeners and yours as well. So really quickly-ish, what are some common mistakes that you see creative business owners make when it comes to their brand?

Lindsay: Sure. So there’s a lot of them. I’m going to go through them quickly. I actually wrote them down.

Tavia: I figured there were probably a lot!

• Listening to what other people tell them to do
  
  Lindsay: Yeah. So there are a handful, but I think listening to what people are telling them to do all the time like they should. It’s like you should be marketing this while you should be doing that. If it doesn’t feel good to you, it’s not going to come across the way that you want it to. So you need to find ways that feel good to you and something that you can keep up.
  
  For instance, I do not like Instagram. I have this whole wall up against it. So I don’t go on it a whole lot. You’ll actually see this if you visit my page, but I’m trying to get better, but I’m also trying to find a way that I connect with in order for me to show up better. Right? So if you listen to the shoulds and in the should nots, figure out what your shoulds and should nots be because you are an individual person. ‘Cause what might work for one person might not work for you because we’re all different.
  
  
• Focusing on the initial impression than on what leaves a lasting impression
  
  And so some people also just focus on their marketing and not on the things that will leave a meaningful and lasting impression. And so if you keep on saying like, “Oh, I need to do this Facebook ad” or “Oh, I need to send out this e-mail letter,” and if you don’t have a solid foundation to base everything on top of your marketing message, it’s always going to change. It’s going to feel very inconsistent.
  
  Also, there are people will take like just the Instagram course or how to do this and how to do that. Like quick fixes on the things that they think that they need to do in order to be seen. But it’s really about, unless you’re learning a skill to help better your business, I know that you probably do in your courses, actual skills and things to do, right? But also you have to have the skill to do something, to get hired, and to work with more luxury clients. But you also have to have a solid brand. The two have to marry together. And if you have both of those, you will be unstoppable. For real. But if you’re just throwing on like a marketing tactic here or how do I show up on like a review site? That’s only going to get you so far. You really need to figure out what is the total experience. What am I providing and what is my expertise and how am I sharing that with the world?
  
  
• Fear to talk about their value
  
  On top of that, I think people are really afraid to talk about their value. And this is something that everybody can get better at. And it’s about, no one wants to be like this braggadocious person that’s like, “Oh, I am the best,” because it’s generally those people who aren’t the best. They’re just saying that they are. But if you hear a message enough, you believe that they’re actually the best. But after you go through their experience, their experience probably is lacking. So it’s about really talking about your value and truly connecting with your ideal clients. What are the things that they value? And so if you’re not creating that experience, if you’re not providing that value, those are the things that are, I think are some of the biggest mistakes that somebody can make.
  
  
• Putting up a good facade
  
  And I think finally on this topic, people are putting forward that they have this really great brand and this really easy experience that’s flowing, whatever, but behind the scenes, it’s really chaotic. Have you have a chaotic behind the scenes? I think I said this before, it’ll show up in other ways on your external expression. And so if you can get everything going in the background so that the entire foreground can be seen, then you start to have this kind of harmonious world that you live in. And you’re like, “Oh, this can be easy.” So those are my biggest, biggest things.

Tavia: I love that. And whenever, thinking about what we talked about in the beginning of your brand being a person, and then you talking about trying to learn marketing strategies and not having the brand in place, so would this be a good example?

If you, the brand person, are hosting a dinner and you’re really good at cooking food. And so you’re cooking the food, but people are coming in and you’re not greeting them. You’re being kind of rude, sit down and it’ll be ready in 15 minutes. And you’re being very factual and you’re doing the thing and maybe your food is really good, but when the people are coming in, they feel like I don’t want to come back here because she’s a terrible host. Would that be a good analogy for not for just doing marketing without having the branding piece down?

Lindsay: Yeah. I mean, that pretty much hits it right the nail on the head. You can be doing all the great things in the background, but if you don’t have a solid brand and know what you actually want to say and know what you stand for and know exactly what your people want and need to hear that you actually do, there’s going to be a huge disconnect. And so when you’re actually doing the marketing and the advertising, the basis for all of that is a strong brand. Not the branding, the brand. And so that’s really where it all comes. So you can cook great food, but if people are coming in, they’re hearing like, “Oh, she’s too busy to do this…” they’re going to be like, “Oh, well, I don’t know. I don’t know if I want this.” But you know, what you were serving up is fantastic, but the marketing won’t sink because your messaging, everything is so disconnected.

You don’t have the different processes in place. You don’t know how to put boundaries on when you’re going to stop cooking, so you can spend time with your people, right? And it’s all about this even exchange. Does that make sense? Does that?

Tavia: I love that. Yeah. I love that.

Lindsay: It’s part of your analogy. And I think also one big mistake that they also make is that they try to emulate what they see versus blazing a trail that really gets them seen. So if you’re doing everything in the sea of sameness, how are you going to stand out? It’s about blazing that trail. Maybe saying things that other people aren’t saying, but also being that company that other people aren’t being, serving, giving them what they want. That’s where you’ll get seen. It’s not the people who are all doing the same thing. Like, yeah, you’ll get seen, be like, “Oh, that’s pretty,” but who are they to say like, “Oh, this person is different from them.” They’ll be like, “Oh, it’s like one of those photographers.” One of those that just as like a really nice, fine art look, or more candid, stylish, photojournalistic, whatever it winds up–bang, you’ll be in the sea of sameness unless you start blazing your own trail. So stop emulating people that you admire and start doing your own thing. You are your own person. I know, easier said than done.
