The Jasmine Star Show

Be honest: Have you ever gotten business advice that sounded, well, like this...

To get ahead of 99% of business owners, you must:

...”ABC: Always be closing.”

...”Eat your competition for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”

...”Never take no for an answer.”

I’m not saying the advice is wrong or even bad, but there are better and more enjoyable ways to get ahead (and stay ahead) in business. Spoiler alert: They have nothing to do with aggressive tactics or relentless hustle.

Instead, in this episode, I’m sharing the four things I’ve done to get ahead and maintain momentum in business.

Have you seen this type of fear-based marketing?

It might lead to short-term actions, but it hardly ever leads to long-term loyalty.

When I was struggling with my weight, these headlines were everywhere. They’d hook me by playing on my insecurities, but it doesn’t deliver the clarity and support you need to actually improve your situation.

The solution: Possibility Marketing.

Possibility marketing is about inspiring action by offering hope and tangible solutions. (Instead of scaring people into believing they're doomed.)

It wasn't until I found health professionals who focused on education and empowerment that I began to see real change.

In this episode, you’ll learn four new strategies to uplevel your marketing efforts, the Three C’s of Marketing, and my Three-Step Possibility Marketing Framework.
