1. What are three words that best describe your personal brand?
NEON. VOLTAIC. SYSTEM-FLIPPING.
2. Tell us why you’re awesome in two sentences or less
I help righteous entrepreneurs break their own sound barriers, with whoa-nelly webcopy, sales page sorcery, and spooky-perfect ghostwriting. And I have glorious hair.
3. What are your three biggest indulgences?
1) Luxurious business, communication & spirituality coaching, with top-tier professionals.
2) Japanese gel manicures. I’m sorry, but I write better when my fingers look fantastical
3) iTunes music binges. No illegal downloads, kids. Paying for art & entertainment is good for the complexion.
4. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Long, rambling, incoherent emails (from total strangers) – which frequently include a slightly-desperate call-to-action with a ridiculously short turnaround time. Le sigh. That’s an immediate “no.”
5. If you could have dinner with anyone (living or not) who would it be and why?
A double-date with Oscar Wilde & RuPaul. Obviously.
6. Why is having a powerful personal brand important to you?
The power of your personal brand is a reflection of how you feel about yourself. To be perceived as a powerhouse of professional excellence, you’ve got to believe that you deserve to be here, and that you’ve got something to offer than no one else can.
My brand is ME – packaged & presented as poetically as possible.
It’s my livelihood, my artistic playground, my ambitions in action, my dream come true.
What could be more important than that?
7. What is your #1 marketing tip for fellow female entrepreneurs?
There are no rules, templates or formulas for marketing success.
The only thing that matters is what makes you feel wicked-awesome, in the moment – and what actually works, in measurable ways.
Experiment & play. Leave space for mystical bolts of brilliance. And track your metrics with joyful fanaticism.
