Why are people interested in what you do, but still not hiring you? In this episode, Lori and I break down one of the biggest problems we saw inside our Elite Mastermind, even among 7 and 8-figure entrepreneurs. We talk about why "clear beats cute" every single time, how overcomplicating your messaging is costing you opportunities, and why you have to decide you are the expert before you ever feel ready. I share the exact fill-in-the-blank sentence we gave our Mastermind to fix their messaging instantly, and how repeating it consistently will change how people see you and how you show up. Get ready to simplify your message, own your positioning, and start getting chosen faster.

• The sentence that can instantly clarify your business.
