🔥 Feeling lost in the sea of entrepreneurship? 😵‍💫 Don't worry, I've got you covered!

This week on the Classy Career Girl Podcast, I'm diving deep into the #1 question I get asked: "How do I find my niche?!" 🎯

Trust me, I get it. It can feel overwhelming trying to figure out your ideal client and stand out from the crowd. But guess what? You don't need to have it ALL figured out before you start. 🚀

Here's the secret sauce:

1. Look back at your experience. What are you passionate about? What problems do you love to solve? 🤔
2. Do your market research. Talk to people, understand their challenges, and use THEIR words to connect. 🗣️
3. Have real sales conversations. This is where the magic happens! You'll learn SO much from actually talking to potential clients. 💰

Bonus tip: Don't be afraid of the competition! See what they're doing and find the gaps where you can shine. ✨
