When I worked at Cisco Systems, a conversation with HR revealed that companies often spend between $30,000 to $40,000 a day just to bring in specialists for their teams.

You might think that's insane, but when you realize the work and networking that goes into landing these corporate contracts, it starts to make sense.

Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and in this episode of "The Weeniecast", I'm sharing three secrets you need to know to start winning corporate clients.

Trust me, this is practically a free $20,000 tip, because once you nail these points, you'll be well on your way to securing high-value contracts.

In this episode, I mention the Weeniecast Bingo card.

Imagine you're at the grocery store.

You're picking out some oranges, looking at cucumbers across the way, and a stranger comes up and pitches a $4,000 website build.

How likely are you to pull out your wallet? Probably not at all.

They have zero credibility with you.

I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and I want to help you avoid being the online version of that off-putting stranger.

In this episode of The Weeniecast, "Build Trust with Ideal Clients & Create 'Superfans,'" I'll guide you through the process of turning total strangers into devoted superfans.

You'll discover why sharing weird and seemingly mundane details about yourself is critical in building trust and memorability with your ideal clients.

You'll walk away from this episode understanding how to create a connection with your audience that goes beyond business.

No more blending in with the crowd and being 'just another expert' in your industry.

You'll feel empowered to be authentically you online, making your business not just memorable, but magnetic to your tribe.

00:00 The grocery store.

05:14 Create holes in the canvas.

09:17 Former clients aligned.

12:17 ADHD minds & diverse interests.

20:07 Being overly generic hinders hiring and memorability.

21:21 Prefer human connections; embrace your authentic self.

You might not realize it, but your fears of appearing attention-seeking on social media could be holding you back from the success you're aiming for. Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and welcome to the Weeniecast! In this episode, I'm diving into the common anxieties we entrepreneurs face, especially those of us with ADHD, when it comes to marketing ourselves and our businesses.

Let me ask you: Do you cringe at the thought of posting about your work or, heaven forbid, sharing a selfie? Does the idea of calling attention to yourself make you feel like you're in grade school again, worried that everyone will think you just want attention? If so, you're not alone. I've been there, and so have countless clients I've coached. The truth is, if you're not showing up in your marketing, people can't find you, and they certainly can't hire you. In this episode, I'll guide you through understanding the deep-rooted fears that make marketing feel "icky," and more importantly, how to overcome them.

You'll learn why calling attention to your business is essential, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. You'll also hear about the surprising benefits of being visible, including how to handle negative feedback and why your ideal clients are out there waiting for you to show up. After listening, you'll be better equipped to tackle those inner doubts, post with confidence, and attract the clients who truly need your unique talents. So, tune in and let's transform your marketing from a fearful task into a powerful tool for success.

Timestamped Summary:

00:00 Business success requires overcoming initial discomfort promoting.

05:11 ADHD impulsivity makes individuals targets; they hide.

06:57 ADHD anxiety about calling out when sick.

10:56 Don't let miserable people influence your life.

13:38 Embrace vulnerability; fear of judgment is self-projection.

17:10 Putting yourself out there helps others significantly.
