What is it I do for my clients? Oh, I build a basic marketing plan which includes these, like, eight or nine steps, and I'm going to go through that process. I remember getting out a pad of paper and writing down, who is my ideal customer? What problem can I solve for them? And getting really clear on who that ideal customer is, and then niching it down. And I actually figured out after going through that process over and over, who could I serve exceedingly well, better than anybody, and what audience is willing to pay me today? Because that was the other problem I had. I didn't have a year to go do something I needed. I had my kids in private school. I had a mortgage due. I had at the time I was divorced. I have payments. How am I going to turn this around? Crazy urgency. Crazy urgency.
