Many entrepreneurs don’t set out with a grand plan to build a business. Maybe you worked for a company that didn’t value your vision, and one day you thought, “I could do this myself”, that was my story.

They believe they need more posts, more emails, more funnels, more content, more noise. But what if the real problem is not that people do not know you exist? What if the real problem is that your words are not building enough trust? Today, I’m joined by Rachel Allen, founder of Bolt from the Blue Copywriting. Rachel describes her work as “data-driven, human-centered marketing for good people doing hard work that matters.” She has run a marketing business for 16 years, worked with clients in more than 21 countries, and written for businesses ranging from major names in entrepreneurship to brick-and-mortar companies, influencers, and nonprofits.
