***This is a special encore of one of the most popular episodes on making visibility work FOR you.   If you've heard it before, you'll still want to listen in because it helps you avoid tricky mistakes.*** The original episode 85: If marketing your business feels awkward or exhausting… it’s because you’ve been trying to do it in a way that doesn’t actually fit you… Are you burning out? Overthinking every post? Marketing in ways that feel disconnected from your real voice? Most small business marketing mistakes come from forcing visibility that’s unnatural. Welcome to the self-promo paradox—where you want growth and results, but the moment it’s time for visibility, you either pull back… or push in ways that feel exhausting. This episode is about creating a more sustainable path to self-promotion. We’re rewriting the rules of marketing strategies for small business. You’ll learn how to build your brand so people remember and trust you without being online 24/7.  In this online marketing podcast episode: Self-promo patterns keeping you stuck (and how to shift them)Why your marketing feels draining—and what to do insteadThe 5 biggest small business marketing mistakes How to create visibility that converts, not just drives views Listen for… To build a brand that people remember and come back to..sustainability.  Because visibility isn’t about being louder—it’s about being findable, memorable, and trustworthy… in a way that supports your life, not takes it over every week.   Next Steps: Share this episode with a friendListen to next: How to Avoid Burnout as an Entrepreneur (ep 70)Rate and Review to share your supportRESOURCES PRIVATE PODCAST: Secrets of Standing Out Online www.herfirst3years.com Instagram: @chardetryel PROGRAMS & FREE TRAININGS Start Your Own "Private" Podcast Workshop Start Your Podcast Grow Your Podcast Learn How to Be a Guest on Podcasts

If you feel like you're doing "all the things" in your content as a solopreneur but not seeing the progress you'd expect...or you're just feeling completely burnt out...this episode is for you. It's about how to focus on the RIGHT small business marketing tools for you. Most of us solopreneurs are running our business on push energy because that's what we were taught. It's why we feel so burnt out and exhausted but not rewarded for our time or effort. This is ESPECIALLY true when it comes to the content strategy maps we're told to follow. A lot of small business marketing is, unfortunately, a hangover from the big bro marketing days online. And the biggest myth? It's that if you’re everywhere online, all the time, that’s how you grow. Except that doesn't really work when you're not a teenager or a mega entrepreneur. So much of the advice shared with solopreneurs is given by people with massive budgets and teams. This episode shows you a different way. Because your time and effort are worth more than you've been getting. Listen for inspiration!

This mini episode might be for you! Because, yes you want your business to be profitable and you 100% need to be careful about your time...but too often we fall into scarcity mindset and say no because we can't see an immediate return.

Forget freebies you pour your heart into and nobody uses — a private podcast builds deeper connection and trust with your ideal audience, without you posting 24/7. Looking for lead magnet ideas that convert — not another PDF or checklist people download and forget about? Because I’m sure you’ve been exactly here: You create the freebie. Pour your expertise into it. Spend way more time on Canva than you want to admit. People sign up. And then…nothing. Because the 2010 playbook of give people information → get their email → nurture → sell doesn’t work like it used to. There’s more free content than ever. AI can give your dream client an answer in seconds. And after years of being sold to online, people are a LOT more careful about who they trust. So if you’re a coach or entrepreneur offering some sort of transformation, you need more than another checklist. You need something that lets people experience you. In this episode, I’m sharing why a private podcast has become one of my favorite lead magnet ideas for building deeper trust with your dream clients — and how to launch your private podcast so it’s searchable, bingeable and evergreen. No weekly content hamster wheel required. And nope, you don’t need a fancy mic or a studio either. In this digital marketing podcast episode: Why your beautifully designed freebie might be creating ghost subscribers instead of dream clients The three shifts making the old-school 2010 approach to lead generation fail Why coaches and entrepreneurs working in transformation need more than just more info to give How a private podcast creates multiple trust-building touchpoints without you having to constantly post How to make your private podcast searchable, bingeable and evergreen — so it can keep working long after you log off Listen for… inspiration to create an EXPERIENCE for your future clients and customers, not must more information.  Next Steps: Share this episode with a friendJoin the Private Podcast Growth Engine Workshop here RESOURCES PRIVATE PODCAST: Secrets of Standing Out Online www.herfirst3years.com Instagram: @chardetryel PROGRAMS & FREE TRAININGS Start Your Own "Private" Podcast Workshop Start Your Podcast Grow Your Podcast Learn How to Be a Guest on Podcasts

What if your purpose driven business started with solving one small problem for one person you care about? This is the story of jewelry for hearing aids - Auzi. Auzi co-founder Daniela Groza shares how a birthday gift became a brand and what it took to keep believing in their mission.  When jewelry designer Daniela Groza’s partner asked if she could make jewelry for his hearing aids, she didn’t immediately think business idea. But after months of experimenting, Daniela and her partner discovered an entire community of people decorating their hearing aids and talking about how the traditional beige, medical-looking devices didn’t feel like them. That discovery eventually became Auzi, a jewelry brand helping people turn their hearing aids into something visible and proudly part of their personal style. The part of Daniela’s story I especially love is that she took a skill she already had, noticed how it could make a difference to one person, and followed it. On the podcast Her First Three Years, Daniela shares what building a purpose driven business actually looked like behind the scenes—from starting a jewelry business from home and posting almost every day without knowing what would work, to waiting three months for their first sale. She also talks about working directly with the Deaf community, learning from customer feedback and building a purpose driven business strategy around something bigger than aesthetics: confidence and self-expression. In this founder story podcast episode: How Daniela and her partner turned a birthday gift of jewelry into a brandWhat three months without a single sale taught her about visibilityHow listening to the Deaf community has influenced Auzi’s developmentWhy negative comments made Daniela doubt herself—and what she chose to take from that feedback insteadThe vision for Auzi in the next few years Listen for... inspiration! Especially if you’ve ever wondered whether your idea is important enough or if you should keep going.  Because sometimes your purpose driven business starts with just believing in in the mission! About the Guest: Daniela Groza is a jewelry designer and co-founder of Auzi, a jewelry brand creating bespoke pieces for hearing aids. Her relationship with jewelry started at just 12 years old, when she began making pieces for friends and family and sharing her designs on a Facebook page called Danny’s Jewels. She later studied jewelry at university, where sustainability, symbolism, body acceptance, and creating pieces with a deeper purpose became central to her work. That background collided with something deeply personal when her partner—who has worn hearing aids since childhood—asked her to create a piece for his hearing aid. He had spent years trying to make his hearing loss less visible. Now, Daniela says, he proudly wears his pieces, talks about them and shows them off.
