Why Legendary Marketer Launched a Confidence Challenge

Elevating Our Core: How Confidence Integrates with Marketing Mastery

At Legendary Marketer we don't just launch marketers...we launch leaders.

If you've caught wind of our latest move, you might be wondering: “Has Legendary Marketer thrown traditional marketing education out the window?” Especially with our new Confidence Challenge taking center stage. 

Is this the end of marketing as we know it?

That almost needs the DUH, DUH, DUH sound after it for full dramatic effects.  

We haven’t abandoned our core mission; we're amplifying it. 

Confidence isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s crucial. It’s the jet fuel for every strategy, tool, and tactic we teach.

Why the focus on confidence? Simple. We've observed a gap, a lot of brilliant minds with access to top-tier marketing knowledge, frozen by hesitation and doubt. What good is a playbook if you never run the plays?

This isn’t a pivot away from marketing education, it’s an enhancement. 

By integrating the Confidence Challenge, we're addressing the silent killer of potential: fear. 

We’re giving our students the keys to unlock not just doors of opportunity but to swing them open with authority.

A Strategy Rooted in Real Needs

The digital marketing landscape is not just about understanding complex tools and strategies, it's about executing them with certainty and impact. Without a solid foundation of confidence, even the most well-equipped marketers can find themselves hesitant to implement what they've learned. Our Confidence Challenge is designed to bridge this gap, ensuring that our students are not only skilled but also ready and able to lead and innovate.

Empowering Marketers, Enhancing Careers

Our goal is to enhance the effectiveness of our training by ensuring that every marketer we train is not only knowledgeable but also confident in applying that knowledge. This approach goes beyond traditional education by equipping our students to take decisive action, enhancing their impact in the marketing world.

We're not here to just throw skills at you, we're here to ensure you take what you learn, implement, and step into the best entrepreneur badass version of yourself. 

The Bottom Line

We are still the Legendary Marketer you trust to provide comprehensive marketing education. 

With the introduction of the Confidence Challenge, we are building on our commitment to deliver an education that empowers our students not just to learn but to lead. 

This new initiative is crafted to help our students break through the barriers that have held them back, enabling them to utilize their skills fully and confidently.

Are you ready to step up and redefine what it means to be a successful digital marketer and entrepreneur?

See how the Confidence Challenge can level up your own mindset and business!

The Marketing Genius Behind Jake Paul: Lessons We Can All Learn

The Marketing Genius Behind Jake Paul: Lessons We Can All Learn

The Marketing Genius Behind Jake Paul: Lessons We Can All Learn

With the big fight Friday night, there’s been alot of opinions being thrown around online about Jake Paul.

Well…if you are a marketer(or working towards becoming one), there are a ton we can observe and learn.

So put any negative troll thoughts aside (anyone that trolls only stays stuck), put on your marketing glasses because he’s doing a few things we can all learn and implement immediately. 

Picture this for me… a teenage Jake Paul, lip-syncing and dancing his heart out to a popular tune, no microphone in sight. He’s having fun, letting loose, and sharing it with the world. Years later, the clip resurfaces, and some haters take aim, trying to turn it into a punchline and endless memes poking fun at him. 

Here’s the clip…

Here’s the thing:

The video wasn’t cringy. (Maybe a little, that's why its amazing!)

Jake wasn’t ashamed then, and he’s not about to let the critics get under his skin now. 

Could you imagine if he QUIT because someone didn't like this clip when he was a teenager? 

Could you imagine if he let the worry and the “what ifs” control his actions? 

He would probably be in some office cubicle hating his life right now if he had…He would have let others BURY HIS POTENTIAL and DREAMS.

And that, my friends, is a lesson in boldness that every entrepreneur, whether you're a newbie or seasoned pro, needs to understand.

Jake Paul has made waves for many reasons, but the core of his success is simple: he’s consistently willing to take risks, stand out, and never back down from putting himself out there. 

Love him or hate him…as an entrepreneur you gotta have mad respect because his game is spot on. 

Back then, it was a fun, out of the box video that got him views and was at the infancy of his online presence. 

Today, it’s the same approach…

whether facing public criticism, entering the boxing ring, or launching a new venture. 

Jake has mastered the art of showing up and tuning out the noise.

And so can you.

Here’s what every entrepreneur, from fresh-faced newbies to seasoned marketers, can learn:

  1. Haters Gonna Hate, Marketers Gotta Create. The more you put yourself out there, the more you’ll encounter people who want to tear you down. But their opinions aren’t your business…your growth is. Jake’s commitment to his craft, regardless of public opinion, is exactly what it takes to succeed. And remember – he has build an audience of raving fans! Which also means a bigger target for those that aren't his target demographic. 
  2. Commitment to Boldness Never Ends. For seasoned entrepreneurs, this clip serves as a reminder: success is never the result of playing it safe or blending in. It’s about pushing the envelope, trying new things, and being bold. If you’ve reached a level of comfort, it’s time to shake things up again. Stay bold, think outside the box, and keep redefining your limits.
  3. Have Fun and Stand Proud. Let’s not overlook the most important part: teenage Jake wasn’t trying to be “cool.” He was having fun, being unapologetically himself, and sharing joy. When you approach your work this way, creating with passion, embracing authenticity, your audience will feel it. Genuine connection trumps perfection every time.

This viral clip isn’t just a moment from Jake Paul’s past, it’s a glimpse and reminder for every new entrepreneur that you MUST start, you MUST take action, you MUST not have a worry about what anyone else's opinion.

Whether it’s your first reel, a risky campaign, or a big leap in your strategy, never let the worry of what others might say or think keep you from taking action. 

In a world of critics…

Those willing to be bold and relentless are the ones who move forward.

So, what’s the takeaway? 

Post the video. 

Try the unconventional campaign. 

Be bold and have fun along the way. 

When you’re willing to show up unapologetically, the opinions of others fade into background noise.

Now, it’s your turn. 

What bold move have you been putting off because of fear? 

Take a page from Jake Paul’s playbook and give it everything you’ve got. 

Critics may come and go, but the fearless are the ones who make a mark and LAST online and in business.

Looking for more help with building rock solid confidence as you step into the online as a creator and digital marketer? Check out our new Confidence Challenge…it will blow your mind in what is revealed and the toolbox you’ll have to step into the greatest version of yourself.

Legendary Marketer’s 5-Minute Guide to Give Your Instagram Bio a Major Boost

by

Legendary Marketer’s 5-Minute Guide to Give Your Instagram Bio a Major Boost

Legendary Marketer’s 5-Minute Guide to Give Your Instagram Bio a Major Boost

Your Instagram profile is your digital handshake. And in a world where everyone’s scrolling like their life depends on it, you’ve got about two seconds to make that handshake memorable. Lucky for you, a killer profile doesn’t require an all-day overhaul. In just five minutes, you can add some serious oomph to your bio with a few clever updates.

Here’s how to make your profile stand out in a snap!

1. The Bio Statement That Tells It All

You’ve got 150 characters to convince someone that your profile is worth a follow…no pressure, right?

A sharp bio statement tells visitors right away what you’re all about, so they don’t have to guess.

  • Why This Matters: You want people to know instantly if you’re their kind of person. A clear bio statement helps your audience connect with you without playing a game of “What do they actually do?”
  • How to Do It: Think about who you help and how you do it. Keep it short, sweet, and packed with value.
  • Examples:
    • “Helping new marketers build online growth with confidence 🚀”
    • “Guiding busy professionals to build a healthier, balanced life 🌱”
    • “Empowering moms to turn passion projects into income streams.”
    • “Empowering women to attract genuine love with confidence 💕”

With one line, you’re giving people a reason to follow—and, yes, it’s really that simple.

2. Emojis: The Secret Sauce for Visual Appeal

Emojis aren’t just for spicing up your texts—they’re a quick way to make your bio easy on the eyes. But keep it classy, not chaotic. A few well-placed emojis can guide your reader’s eye and add a friendly vibe to your profile.

  • Why This Works: Emojis break up the text so it’s not just one big block. Plus, they give people a peek at your personality without a single extra word.
  • How to Do It: Pick 1-2 emojis per line to match what you’re saying, like 📚 for “Marketing Tips” or 🔥 for “Confidence Coaching.”
  • Example Bio:
    • “Helping aspiring entrepreneurs grow with confidence 🚀
      📚 Digital Marketing Tips | 🔥 Confidence Boosts
      Coffee lover ☕️ | Dog mom 🐾”
    • For a Dating Coach:
      “Helping women attract their ideal partner 💘
      💖 Confidence Tips | 💬 Dating Strategy
      Romantic at heart 🌹 | Chocolate addict 🍫”
    • For a Health Coach:
      “Helping busy people find a healthy balance 🌱
      🥗 Nutrition Tips | 💪 Fitness Coaching
      Smoothie enthusiast 🍓 | Nature lover 🌳”

That’s professional and personable without being cluttered.

Remember…as I always share…

Social media is meant to be social. Ya can't be too stuffy or salesy and you also can't be too casual. A nice balance is key. 

3. A Little Social Proof (or a Fun Fact!) Never Hurt

People love a little proof you know what you’re talking about. Got a follower count, client milestone, or a fun fact about yourself? Drop it in! This shows you’re trustworthy and human.

  • Why It Works: A quick stat or relatable detail makes people feel like they already know you—whether you’re a 10K-followers-and-growing marketer or a proud dog mom.
  • How to Do It: No big numbers? No worries. Try adding something fun about you to make people smile.
  • Examples:
    • “Trusted by 5K+ happy clients”
    • “Dog mom 🐾 | Coffee enthusiast ☕️ | Adventure junkie 🌍”
    • “20+ happy clients now in relationships” or “Hopeless romantic 🥂 | Bookworm 📚 | Netflix lover 🍿”
    • “Certified Nutritionist | Trusted by 500+ clients” or “Smoothie connoisseur 🍓 | Hiker 🥾 | Meal prep queen 🍲”

Instant personality points, and a reason for people to follow beyond the content you post.

4. The Power Move: A Strong Call-to-Action (CTA)

Here’s where you give people that gentle nudge to take the next step. Want them to download your free guide, check out your latest video, or book a spot in your upcoming workshop? Tell them! A quick CTA at the end of your bio will do the trick.

  • Why It Works: People like direction, so why not make it easy? A clear CTA makes it way more likely that they’ll click.
  • How to Do It: Keep it direct and make sure it aligns with whatever link you have in your bio.
  • Example CTA:
    • “⬇️ Grab my FREE guide to starting an online biz”
    • “🎉 Join my next workshop for newbie marketers!”
    • “⬇️ Get my FREE guide to finding genuine love”
    • “⬇️ Download my FREE meal prep checklist”

Whether it’s a freebie or a new blog post, this is where you lead them next.

And I want this to sink in…as a marketer, you should ONLY LEAD YOUR PROSPECT TO THE NEXT ACTION YOU WANT TO TAKE. This is a huge issue we see here at Legendary Marketer, just because another “marketer” has 20 links in their bio, doesn't mean you should. 

No Choices.

No Mystery.

No Options. 

Just the next step to take.

Putting It All Together for a Legendary Profile

When you’re finished, your bio should feel like a polished, welcoming invitation. Here’s the play-by-play:

  • Bio Statement: Tell visitors who you help and what you’re about—fast.
  • Emojis: Use a few to keep it visually appealing and friendly.
  • Social Proof or Fun Detail: A touch of trustworthiness or personality.
  • CTA: Give visitors a next step that points them to more value.

And that’s it! With just a few easy tweaks, you’ve taken your bio from “blah” to “wow,” and it only took five minutes.

How Digital Marketing Skills Saved My Business – And Why You Should Learn to Launch Online

How Digital Marketing Skills Saved My Business – And Why You Should Learn to Launch Online

How Digital Marketing Skills Saved My Business – And Why You Should Learn to Launch Online

Taking imperfect action is better than waiting for life to force your hand, and I learned this the hard way. When a crisis strikes, hesitation can cost you everything. 

This week, we witnessed the devastation brought by back-to-back hurricanes in parts of Florida. Homes, businesses, and entire livelihoods were uprooted in a matter of hours. 

It’s a stark reminder that tomorrow is never promised. 

Listening to Dave share the heartache sweeping his hometown, I couldn’t help but recall a moment of my own: the day we had just one hour’s notice.

Our business was ordered to close immediately due to COVID-19.

I remember the panic in my husband’s voice…

How will we pay the bills? We still owed every dollar on the building, insurance, all the expenses of doing business…yet we couldn't do business.

There was no word on when we might reopen, and it felt like everything we had built was slipping away instantly. 

But I refused to let that be our reality. 

If you know me, you know that if I’m going down…

I’m going down swinging.

There had to be another way, another option…and luckily, I had one…

What Did I do?

Luckily, I had already invested time, energy, and money into something that would ultimately save us…

digital marketing.

2 years prior, I had joined a mastermind group dedicated to business owners like me, focused on implementing online marketing. At the time, I was still a part of this group. Plus I was now to a point where I was working with clients outside of our brick-and-mortar business.

The skills were there, waiting for the moment I needed them most.

That night, I looked at my husband and said, “We may not be able to open our physical doors, but we can open a virtual one.”

I stayed up until the early hours of the morning, building an online membership area and a virtual class schedule.

Our students, who were on monthly tuition, suddenly had access to new online classes, workouts, and perhaps most importantly, connection with their favorite coaches and classmates during an uncertain and stressful time.

We had just one day without classes.

Our physical doors were closed for over three months, but our virtual doors were closed for only a single day.

What did that decision do for us?

  • It kept our employees working, running classes through Zoom from their homes.
  • It kept the kids active and connected, even while stuck at home.
  • We were able to pay all our building rent on a 12k sq ft building that we still owed each month. (A lease our landlord was not willing to budge on)
  • And we retained 88% of our enrollment during the shutdown.

All because I had previously learned digital marketing.

Someone once said “We were lucky.”

But luck had nothing to do with it, it was from preparation, follow thru, and consistency that when a situation we never imagined, the skills would come into play.

Dave Sharpe, our CEO here at Legendary Marketer, said it best this week:  YOU MUST GET VIRTUAL.

He too, in the middle of the hurricane aftermath, can continue to keep the doors open, stay focused on business because here at Legendary Marketer we're virtual. 

You never know when a wrench is going to get thrown into your plans.

I fell in love with marketing long before that day, but that experience confirmed my belief…

Everyone should learn digital skills, open their own virtual doors, and stop relying on “what ifs” to never happen to them.

Action Is Key

Waiting for the “right time” or for life to force your hand is a risk you don’t want to take.

Start where you are, with what you have, and learn as you go.

The key is to move forward before a crisis demands it.

Don’t wait for a storm to hit before you start building. Whether it's taking a first step, a new step, a start over step, and just continuing to step – ACTION IS KEY. 

The businesses like mine who had digital marketing experience survived the pandemic. Those that didn't want to grow into the online space…unfortunately did not make it through. 

It all came back to a commitment to ongoing growth in skills and knowledge. It's the same for you, for all of us. 

The day we stop learning…(or asking for guidance and advice)

The day we assume nothing bad could happen…

Is the day shit will absolutely hit the fan. 

And the coolest thing of all, is here at Legendary Marketer, Dave built an entire support and education system to help you learn and implement digital marketing before you ever feel forced into change.

So take advantage of what you have access to – take the challenge, jump on support calls, reach out in the community and do what you need to in order to keep moving forward.

How to Share Your Story as a Marketer: It’s Not Your Life Resume

by

How to Share Your Story as a Marketer: It’s Not Your Life Resume

How to Share Your Story as a Marketer: It’s Not Your Life Resume

“Share your story.” Yep, we’ve all heard it a million times in the online marketing world.

But let’s be real if you’re new to the online space, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking…

“Wait, what story? My life is pretty normal… do I even have a story?”

Spoiler alert: You absolutely do. And guess what? Your story isn’t supposed to be a resume. You’re not here to give an autobiography in one reel or post. No one wants to hear your life story in a single sitting (except maybe your grandma).

What Does “Share Your Story” Really Mean?

Sharing your story is about connecting. It’s not about crafting an epic novel; it’s about revealing relatable, real-life moments that will click with your ideal audience. It could be a win, a struggle, a funny mishap, or a lesson learned. These moments sprinkle your personality into your content—whether you’re witty, funny, serious, or laid-back, the way you share those moments gives your audience a taste of who you are.

“But I Shared My Story Last Week, So Now What?”

I hear this all the time: “I shared my story in a reel last week, now what do I talk about?” Here's the thing—sharing your story isn’t a one-and-done deal. It’s not a one-time confession where you spill your guts and then sit there awkwardly wondering what to do next. It’s an ongoing conversation. In fact, your “story” is made up of many smaller stories: bite-sized, relatable experiences that keep the connection alive.

Think about real life. When you meet a friend, you don’t just dump your whole life story on them at once, right? (If you do… maybe rethink that strategy.) You build friendships through shared experiences, common interests, and little anecdotes here and there.

Online, it’s the same thing. You’re not trying to sell yourself—you’re just making friends, but virtually. Your audience is like that friend you grab coffee with, chat about the highs and lows, and swap advice or support. Over time, you build that connection and trust. THIS is what leads to your audience trusting your recommendations and ultimately clicking your link. 

How to Start Sharing Your Story

  1. Pick Relatable Moments
    Don’t overthink it. Start small. Your audience doesn’t need to hear about your entire childhood. Instead, share moments that tie into your journey as a marketer, entrepreneur, or even just a regular human being who has dreams, struggles, and triumphs. Did you struggle to get started in your business? Share that. Did you have a win, no matter how small? Share that too. We share moments to relate to our ideal audience. (Remember it's about them)
  2. Be Consistent, Not Comprehensive
    You don’t need to tell the whole story at once. Share in pieces. Maybe today, you talk about the fear of starting something new. Next week, you talk about that one time everything fell apart—and how you bounced back. Keep it consistent, but spread it out.
  3. Inject Your Personality
    Your story isn’t just what you say; it’s how you say it. Are you funny? Great, throw in some humor. More serious? Lean into that tone. The key is to show up as yourself. People connect with realness, not perfection.
  4. Talk to One Person, Not the Whole World
    I share this all the time, because it's that important. Imagine you’re having a one-on-one conversation with someone who just happens to be a couple of steps behind you. You don’t have to be the expert with all the answers. You just need to be someone who’s a little further along the path and can offer some insight. Speak to that person. This keeps your content relatable and approachable. We cover this right in day 5 of the Learn Launch Lead Challenge.
  5. Share Your Struggles, Not Just Wins
    Wins are great and all, but struggles? Those build connection. Everyone loves an underdog, so don’t be afraid to share when things aren’t picture-perfect. Show the messy middle…how you’re figuring it out as you go. Your audience will appreciate your honesty and be more likely to stick around because not only do they see that YOU get what they are dealing with, you also have a way through it. (Once again, remember it's about THEM.) 

 

Remember, You’re Not Applying for Friendship

Let’s circle back to the whole “life resume” thing. In real life, when you meet someone new, you don’t hand them a detailed list of your life’s achievements and ask if they want to be your friend.

That’d be weird, right?

So why are so many of us doing that online? Stop trying to prove yourself or sell your life story. Instead, focus on sharing pieces of your journey, pieces that your ideal audience can see themselves in.

Your story is about creating connections, not closing deals. It’s about being relatable, approachable, and, most importantly, real.

Final Thought: You Deserve to Be Heard

One last tip? Share from a place of confidence.

Your story, however big or small you think it is, deserves to be heard. You don’t need to have a jaw-dropping rags-to-riches tale to make an impact. Just share what you’ve learned, how you’ve grown, and what you’re still figuring out. You don’t need to be an expert, but you do need to believe in the value of your voice.

Now get out there, start sharing your story one piece at a time, and watch how your audience starts connecting with the real you.

SNEAK Your Side Hustle Into Everyday Life

SNEAK Your Side Hustle Into Everyday Life - Tips To Implement Immediately

Ever feel like you're too busy to work on your business? 

Between family, work, and everything else, finding hours of uninterrupted time can feel impossible. 

But you don’t need hours to make progress. 

You can actually build and grow your business in the small cracks of your day!

Yes, those everyday moments like waiting in line for coffee, sitting in the car at school pick-up, or winding down after dinner are golden opportunities to make big moves with your marketing. 

And the best part? 

You don’t need to spend hours working at a time. 

It’s about using what you’ve got, when you’ve got it.

And if you're negative voice kicks in with “but I don't have any followers” or “I can't do this…” or “I can't do that….” 

STOP.

You can do ALL of the below. I don't care if you have 0, 2, 5 or 5000 followers… you won't get better at marketing until you put it into action. 

So get going with these tips below. 

Here’s how you can start making the most of those small windows of opportunity:

1. Morning Coffee Break – Share a Quick Story!

You’ve brewed your coffee, and the day is just getting started. Take five minutes to hop on Instagram or Facebook and share a story with your audience. It could be something behind-the-scenes, a quick win from the day before, or even just a snapshot of your morning routine. People love authenticity – and a story like this keeps your audience engaged and connected to you.

2. Waiting at Your Kid’s Practice – GO LIVE!

You’re sitting in the car while your kid’s at practice, the perfect opportunity to go live on social media. No need to overthink it! Just hit that “Go Live” button and start talking. Share a bit about your journey, offer a tip, or answer a question from your audience. Going live creates real-time connection, and your followers will love the authenticity of catching you in the moment.

3. Making Dinner or Doing Chores – Hit Record for B-Roll

We all have to cook, clean, or do some sort of chore during the day. Why not use that time to capture some behind-the-scenes content? Set your phone up on the counter or a shelf and hit record while you’re working. You can use that B-roll later for videos, overlay it with tips, or add a motivational quote. It’s easy content that requires zero extra effort.

4. Lunch Break – Check Your Insights

Use your lunch break to check in on your social media or email insights. Spend five minutes looking at which posts are performing well and where you’re getting the most engagement. Use that information to guide your content for the next day. Knowing what works will save you time in the long run, and it’ll help you make smarter marketing decisions.

5. Waiting in School Pick Up Line – Record a Quick Video

Next time you’re standing in line waiting to pick up the kids, use that time to record a quick video. It doesn’t have to be polished or perfect – just whip out your phone, hit record, and share a tip, thought, or something fun with your audience. People love seeing unfiltered, spontaneous moments.

6. Commercial Break – Refresh Your Bio

While you’re watching TV, use those commercial breaks to refresh your social media bio. Take a few minutes to update it with your latest offer, a milestone you’ve hit, or something fun and fresh. A small tweak can go a long way in keeping your profile relevant and interesting to new and existing followers.

7. After Dinner – Plan Tomorrow’s Content

Once dinner is done and you’ve got a few minutes to relax, take five of those minutes to plan out tomorrow’s content. Whether it’s a helpful tip, a funny meme, or a quick personal story, jot it down so you’re ready to post the next day. This small effort ensures that you’ll wake up prepared and ready to engage your audience with zero stress.

8. Post-Workout – Repost Old Content With A Small Adjustment

After a workout, while you’re cooling down, take a quick look at your old content. Find a post that performed well and make a small adjustment and repost. You don’t always have to create something new – re-sharing content can help you reach a new audience, continue to build trust with your current audience, and drive fresh engagement without the extra work.

9. Before Bed – Turn a Post into an Email

As you wind down for the night, take one of your recent social media posts and repurpose it into an email. Add it to your automation sequence so it goes out to your subscribers. This is a quick way to create an extra touchpoint with your audience, helping you stay top of mind, even while you’re off the clock. Remember each piece of content SHOULD have some value in it – right? That's the same value to share in an email. 

Making the Most of Your Day

The secret to growing your business isn’t about finding huge chunks of time. 

It’s about using the small moments wisely. 

Whether you’re waiting for your kid at practice, catching up on chores, or enjoying a coffee break, an extra 30 mins before bed, 20 mins before you head to work in the morning…there’s always a way to move the needle in your business.

By taking these quick actions, you’ll not only build momentum, but you’ll also keep your audience engaged and excited about what you’re doing. 

So next time you find yourself with a few spare minutes…

Remember that’s your business-building moment.

Every small step adds up to something big.

Quit On Your Best Day

Quit On Your Best Day - Advice For The New Entrepreneur

If you're thinking about quitting, do it on your best day. 

Yes, you read that right. It sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? But stick with me, and I’ll explain why this unconventional advice might just be the secret to achieving your goals.

The Temptation to Quit As A New Entrepreneur 

We've all been there. Whether it’s a project that seems to be going nowhere, a job that feels like a grind, or a side hustle that’s not bringing in the money you hoped for, the thought of quitting can be tantalizing. The allure of just walking away and leaving the stress behind is strong, especially when things aren't going well.

But here’s the kicker…the only way you’ll truly know if quitting is the right choice is if you do it on your best day. Why? Because we tend to want to quit when we're struggling. When something feels hard, our instinct is to bolt. But that’s precisely the wrong time to make such a significant decision.

The Problem with Quitting on a Bad Day

Quitting on a bad day is essentially giving up when you’re challenged. When we face obstacles, our minds and bodies go into a state of stress. This stress can cloud our judgment and make us see the situation as more dire than it actually is. In these moments, quitting feels like a release, an escape from the immediate discomfort. But this decision is often made in the heat of the moment, without considering the long-term consequences.

Think about it. Would you want your kids to give up when something gets tough? Probably not. You’d want them to push through, to learn how to deal with difficulties and come out stronger on the other side. The best way to show them how to handle tough situations is to model that behavior yourself.

The Power of Quitting on Your Best Day

So, why quit on your best day? When you’re having a good day, your mind is clear, your spirits are high, and you’re in a much better position to make rational decisions. If you still feel like quitting when everything is going well, then maybe it is the right choice. But more often than not, you’ll find that your desire to quit diminishes when you’re in a positive state of mind.

When we take quitting off the table, we start looking for ways to fix the situation. We get creative, resourceful, and resilient. We develop problem-solving skills that not only help us overcome the current challenge but also prepare us for future obstacles.

On the flip side, if we’re quick to quit, that becomes our default setting. We train ourselves to give up whenever things get tough. This habit can bleed into other areas of our lives, making us more likely to abandon our goals and dreams at the first sign of trouble.

The Simple but Not Easy Process

No one ever said starting a business was going to be easy. Dave has always been abundantly clear – the process is simple, but it’s not easy. The steps you need to take are straightforward, but the journey is filled with challenges and setbacks. It’s during these tough times that your commitment is truly tested.

When you feel like quitting, remind yourself why you started in the first place. What were your goals? What were you hoping to achieve? Sometimes, revisiting your initial motivations can reignite your passion and help you push through the tough times.

Building Resilience

Resilience is like a muscle..the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Every time you choose to stick it out instead of quitting, you’re building your resilience. This strength will serve you well, not just in your current endeavor but in every aspect of your life.

At Legendary Marketer, we believe in the power of perseverance. We understand the challenges that come with starting a business, especially when you're learning digital marketing. Our goal is to equip you with the tools and knowledge to navigate these challenges and come out on top.

The next time you’re thinking about quitting, wait until you’re having a good day. See how you feel then. Chances are, you’ll realize you’ve got more fight in you than you thought. And that’s where the magic happens. You’ll start to see progress, and those small wins will add up to something significant.

Quitting on your best day ensures that you’re making a well-considered decision rather than an impulsive one. It encourages you to push through challenges and develop the resilience needed to succeed in any endeavor. So, the next time you’re tempted to throw in the towel, remember this advice. You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

Stay strong, and keep pushing forward. Your best days are ahead of you, and at Legendary Marketer, we're here to help you make the most of them.

Discover Your Brand Archetypes To Uncover Certainty, Confidence & Clarity

by Leave a Comment

Are you a hero? A maverick? A magician?

Perhaps you see yourself as a caregiver, an explorer, or an entertainer…

When David Sharpe sat down during a live interview with brand strategist, Kaye Putnam, she shared loads of golden insights and actionable tips with the audience. 

Learn how discovering your online business archetypes can help you attract and serve more of your ideal clients…and give yourself an instant boost in confidence and clarity in the process.

Trying on many different hats

When brand strategist, Kaye Putnam first got started in business more than 10 years ago, she looked to other successful entrepreneurs to get ideas about how to act and what to say: 

“I thought that if I could just model what they were doing, I would see some portion of that success.”

For example, one successful entrepreneur Kaye followed was a former athlete and an inspirational, tough-love kind of guy. So Kaye named a video segment, “Your Monday Morning Kick in the Pants.” 

Another person she admired was a bubbly, feminine, and incredibly warm entrepreneur. Kaye infused that style into the opening of her website – “Hey, Bombshell.”

Although she admits it's a bit cringy now, Kaye stressed how normal it is to go through this. In the beginning of any business, it often means “trying on” a bunch of different identities and seeing what feels right. 

How to get Clarity

Kaye’s background in psychology led her to study archetypes – personas or characters that show up throughout history, literature, and pop culture. 

When a brand adopts a particular archetype, people recognize it. The audience can easily understand your brand and know what you stand for almost instantly. 

Although there are many different recognizable archetypes, Kaye’s work focuses on these twelve:

  • Caregiver
  • Creator
  • Entertainer
  • Explorer
  • Girl/Guy Next Door
  • Hero
  • Innocent
  • Lover
  • Magician
  • Maverick
  • Royalty
  • Sage

Within each archetype, Kaye describes what it is, how customers feel, and the innate advantages. She also explains each archetype’s villains (or the exact opposite of what the brand is trying to achieve), potential pitfalls, and examples of brand voice.

 

How does knowing your brand archetypes help you?

Archetypes help us connect with our audience on a gut level. So by leaning into our unique point of view as a brand, we attract clients who also share that value. 

Most businesses will identify with two archetypes. Choosing two gives enough clarity to guide decisions while providing enough variety to feel like you’re “fully expressed”. 

You simply can’t – nor should you even try – to be everything to everyone. Choosing two archetypes gives entrepreneurs enough “playground to play on” without being overwhelmed. 

Just like every superhero has its own kryptonite, each archetype has a set of potential drawbacks. 

While recognizing our strengths helps us project authority to our audience, understanding and acknowledging our weaknesses shows our audience that there is a real human being behind the brand. 

For example, under the “Hero” archetype, customers tend to feel inspired, strong, and determined. And while the Hero archetype projects competence and courage, some of the potential pitfalls include arrogance and aggression.  

As Kaye said, “We don’t necessarily have to overcome our weaknesses. It’s more about awareness.” 

In fact, our “weaknesses” can become our greatest strength. As Dave Sharp likes to say, “Take your mess and turn it into your message.” 

Archetypes help us do just that.

Once you identify 1-2 archetypes, are you stuck with them forever? 

Nope. 

We’re all multi-faceted human beings. 

And over time, just as you evolve as a human, your business (and its identity) will likely evolve as well. 

For now, remember that the simple act of knowing your strengths and communicating them with your audience is magnetic. This brings the right people into our world. 

And as Kaye says:

“When you’re standing in your truth with certainty and confidence and clarity, people resonate with that.”

Find out your brand archetypes

Kaye Putnam is an expert when it comes to archetypes. Over the past 10+ years, she’s worked with huge corporations, solopreneurs, and everyone in between. Her mission is to help companies define who they are at their core. This allows them to show up as their true, authentic selves – building relationships, engaging audiences, and raising revenue in the process.
