Key Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make When Selecting a Niche EP231


Don’t make this mistake when selecting your niche.

Before I get into this, I pronounce niche like rich, simply because it’s more fun.

Most people associate “finding a niche,” with getting really specific about what they do, unfortunately, specific doesn’t necessarily equal profitable.

Some of your niches can seem ON POINT (because they sound specific), but they are making zero dollars, so we are going to fix this today.

$0 Example: I’m a mindset coach and I teach you how to de-stress and find inner peace and joy

Yes this is specific, but it isn’t tangible.

People only buy what they: 1. Believe they need 2. Something that feels tangible

By tangible I mean, it is clear AF what they will be getting if they work with you, if they buy your course, if they attend your event.

$$$ Example: I’m a mindset coach. I teach you how to re-structure your schedule and set boundaries, so you can achieve your personal goals.

If you niche sounds too grand, too vague, and too good to be true, people won’t trust it and therefor won’t buy it.

Exercise for you: List out all of the tangible results your ideal client will get if they follow your guidance, get the treatment you provide, buy your product, etc…

Pick the top two tangible results your ideal client will rave about the most, and niche on those!

Now go listen to this podcast episode and I’ll break all of this down for you, plus I’ll give you a many more examples.

Ep 792 Why Success, Growth & Healing can Feel so Lonely

There’s a lonely season that happens before your life changes.

The season where you start outgrowing old conversations, old relationship dynamics, old coping mechanisms, and even old versions of yourself. From the outside, it can look like you’re becoming more successful, more visible, more confident, and more aligned. But internally? It can feel isolating while your nervous system, identity, standards, and relationships are trying to catch up to the level you’re stepping into.

In this episode, Tiffany Carter opens up about the emotional side of personal growth, business expansion, identity transformation, success, visibility, and reinvention that people rarely talk about.

This conversation is especially for entrepreneurs, high achievers, creatives, and ambitious women who feel disconnected as they build their next level.

Ep 791 Fire Horse Year Wake-Up Call: Why You Haven’t Hit Your Next Level Yet

If you have been feeling the pull toward your next level but something is not fully clicking, this episode is your wake-up call.

There is a specific kind of tension that happens when you know you are capable of more, you can feel the expansion, but your results are not fully matching that energy yet. This is where a lot of people either rise or stay in the same cycle.

In this episode, I break down what is actually happening beneath the surface when you are not hitting your next level in business and life, and why it has less to do with strategy and more to do with decision, fear, and how you are showing up.

This is not about doing more. It is about getting honest about what is really holding you back and shifting how you move forward.
