It's easy to get caught up in wanting to write in a certain "way." The way you think writers are "supposed" to write.

Seriously, the world does not need more bland, over processed writing. AI is already doing an excellent job pumping lots of boring but useful information into the world. The world, in particular, your ideal clients, customers, and followers want your clear, caring, authentic human expression.

Our "mojo" is what makes us distinct from the many other folks who offer similar products and services. AND it can be challenging to find words that capture the essence of our mojo.

Which is why I'm a big fan of creating mojo products that capture not only what we do but the unique way in which we do our work! Here are my thoughts and some tips for packaging your mojo is ways that work for your business.

Most of the promotions we are exposed to are for consumer products and services. The biggest challenge in consumer marketing is how to make something that is not special seem special.

If you are a heart-centered business owner this is not your problem You ARE special! Your marketing needs to communicate what make you distinctive to your ideal clients. You want to clearly tell them: I am the person you are looking for.

You are not a can of peas. You are not a bottle of shampoo! Don't market yourself as if you were!

How often does another person say to you "I appreciate you"? Probably not very often.

It's not because people don't appreciate you. It's because in our relentlessly results-oriented culture, we rarely take a moment to pause and remember the people who are making a profound, positive difference in our lives.

After my dad died I decided I needed to tell as many people as possible that I appreciated them. I sent 30+ notes and this experience changed me in obvious and not so obvious ways.

Saying I Appreciate You to the people who make a difference is incredibly important and powerful for both the person receiving the appreciation and the person sharing appreciations. I encourage you to begin this practice yourself.

There are so many resources available telling us exactly what we need to do to have a successful business. And yet, there remains a very large gap between what most of us aspire to and where we actually are.

In my experience, I first need to tend to my own stuff, to do my root work. Until I do, I can work my butt off and still may be doing the wrong things or if I'm doing the right things I'm not fully behind my actions.

Regardless, I remain stuck and frustrated.

Here's my story about what forced me to start prioritizing healing my stuff.

As human beings we long to belong and be approved of by our peers.

However, if you are someone who is mission-focused and wants to make a positive difference you are going to be criticized by some people. It simply comes with the territory.

In 2025 I encourage you to take be your authentic self even though it may not feel comfortable. This is how you will attract your right fit people and find the communities where you experience REAL belonging.
