“Flowers don’t chase bees… they attract them.”

This moment from my chat with Sara Truckel ⓥ — The Brand Activist — is one of my favourite metaphors from the entire episode.

Strong brands don’t chase.
They attract.
They connect.
They resonate.

If you’re constantly chasing clients, it’s usually a sign your brand isn’t clear enough or confident enough yet — and that’s something you can fix.

“You cannot be something to everybody… because when you try, you become no one to everybody.”

This moment from my conversation with Sara Truckel ⓥ — The Brand Activist — is one of the most important truths about branding.

If your message is trying to appeal to everyone, it won’t land with anyone.
People won’t see you, hear you, or remember you.

Getting clear on who you’re for (and who you’re not for) is what makes your brand stronger, more confident, and more commercially effective.

Strong brands don’t try to please everyone.
They speak directly to the people who need them most.

When you’re running everything alone, it’s hard to see the full picture.

You end up carrying tasks you shouldn’t — simply because you’re in survival mode.

You’re too close to the chaos to see what actually needs handing over.

This clip with Jasmine Williams hits the nail on the head.

A little behind‑the‑scenes moment from Episode 1 — because recording video isn’t always glamorous 😂

Sometimes you nail it.
Sometimes you forget your words.
Sometimes you just laugh your way through it.

Ever finish a client project and realise you haven't followed up on a lead in weeks?!

You're not being lazy — you're running into a problem almost every solo founder hits eventually. Client work is loud and urgent. Business development is quiet and easy to keep pushing back. So the pipeline runs dry, and you end up scrambling for the next client all over again.

We broke down why this happens, what it's really costing founders (hint: it's not just revenue), and three ways to fix it — including the one most people don't try until they're completely burnt out.

Struggling to balance client delivery with business development? Discover why solo founders fall into a feast-or-famine cycle — and three practical ways to break it for good.

Worried about posting because someone might disagree with you?
This clip from my conversation with video specialist Gareth James will help you see things differently.
